London blasts

[amazed_by_grace]

The police chief states that they have received no claims from any group. They do not know whether the website claim was a genuine claim or not.

 

[beetlequeendiva]

okay have just heard that terminal 3 of heathrow has been closed, has anyone got any info on that???

 

[republican]

No they will stay closed due to it being a crime scene but yes they will be reopened.

 

[amazed_by_grace]

I had not heard about that...

 

[Psalms34]

Yes, thats accurate... can other people stop reporting inaccurate figures now as they are very confusing for people...

Thaaaat's noooot accurate. There is no way there will be an "accurate" report on any real counts for some time.


Oh, here is an update on the status of our alert level here in the U.S. Fox News just said that the orange alert has been issued for trains but has not gone to the orange alert level nationaly yet. Just for all U.S trains at this time. Hmmm... why not airports?

Their is a group I heard on Fox news that is a common group in London that claim the attacks but info is still sketchy. If I can find the source online I will drop the link.

Those were the official numbers at that time. Of course they are subject to change.

G-8 Topic might add terroist agenda in meetings as well with poverty in africa.

Britians favourite commie, "Red Ken" Livingstone (Mayor of London) was as always outstanding... Despite the fact many do not agree with his politics, he is incredibly loved and respected... I found this on the FOX NEWS

London Mayor Ken Livingstone said: "I want to say one thing, specifically to the world today — this was not a terrorist attack against the mighty and the powerful, it was not aimed at presidents or prime ministers, it was aimed at ordinary, working-class Londoners, black and white, Muslim and Christian ... young and old … that isn't an ideology, it isn't even a perverted fate, it is an indiscriminate attempt at mass murder."

"They seek to divide London, they seek Londoners to turn against each other ... this city of London is the greatest in the world because everybody lives side by side in harmony. Londoners will not be divided by this cowardly attack."

Livingstone also had words specifically for the terrorists: "I know that you personally do not fear to give your own life in exchange to taking others ... but I know you do fear you may fail in your long-term objective to destroy our free society ... in the days that follow, look at our airports, look at our seaports and look at our railway stations ... you will see that people from the rest of Britain, people from around the world, will arrive in London to become Londoners, to fulfill their dream and achieve their potential … whatever you do, however many you kill, you will fail."

Fox News gives airspace to Red Ken. However Ken is in as so often, right, and this is no day for politics,but for love, and thanksgivings that so few died.

Well yes, in that respect I agree.

This is the group that has claimed responsibility for the London bombings.



I am looking for their info now.



I need to ask - the Muslims on this web site - is it possible for your religious entity to bombard these other Muslim groups with the non-violent means of your religion? Can't you get to these potential bombers first? I am sure non-violent Muslims can convince young bombers there are not virgins awaiting them, there is not a martyr status after such a death. Why can't your groups get to these kids first?

there won't be any, as they are unknown even to the security agencies

Well yes, they were debating that here but moved to the politics forum since that is too big of a topic to try to cover here in this news thread.

Here is a photo of the reportedly claiming responsibility

And here is the story associated with the letter:

TERRORIST ATTACK IN LONDON

[size=+1]Purported Al-Qaida Letter Claims Responsibility for Bombings
[/size][size=-1]
By Yassin Musharbash

A letter posted on a Web site frequently used by al-Qaida claims that the "Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe" is responsible for today's massive terrorist attack in London. In it, the group also issues warnings to Denmark and Italy.

[size=-2][/size]​

In a letter located by SPIEGEL ONLINE on a Web site trafficked by al-Qaida, a document that claims to be written by the interntional terror group claims responsibility for the London attacks.

"Rejoice, community of Muslims," the letter states. "The heroic mujahedeens today conducted an attack in London," it continues. All of Great Britain is now shaken and shocked, "in the north, the south, west and east." "We've warned the British government and the British people time and again," the letter adds. "We've kept our promise and have carried out a blessed military operation."


[size=-1][/size]
"We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all other crusader governments." We demand that all countries pull their troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq, states the letter, which has been signed by the "Secret Organization -- al Qaida in Europe."

The authenticity of the document could not be immediately confirmed. But in recent months, authentic bulletins and claims of responsibility from different terrorist groups, including the Iraqi al-Qaida affiliate, have been posted to the "al-Qala'a" Web site where today's posting was found. Inauthentic material, however, has also been posted to the site in the past.
