Traveling to London today? If you are, or you are already there take note: An explosion was heard at Liverpool St tube station this morning

Apparently there is no train or tube services in London at the moment and I've just heard from gnommi that now buses have started exploding. At present all the talk is of a power surge/outrage but this seems increasingly unlikely.

More news as I get it.

Edit Explosions have occurred at Aldgate, Edgware Road, King's Cross, Old Street and Russell Square stations. Three buses have exploded. Apparently South Kensington and another tube station have just had explosions as well. Many injuries, some quite severe by all accounts.

Its not a power surge! Fucking, fucking hell! Not again

Edit The Second Mobile masts are also down in London so if you need to contact loved ones. Land line or email is your best option.

Been watching the news, its still very confused over there and no-one was willing to say if it was deliberate or a technical problem. Let's hope the latter and that people are ok.

So far just injuries..

..so fingers crossed that no one is killed. I think its safe to guess it's some kind of deliberate action. I'm just wondering how people are gonna get home tonight!

At this point it's not looking like it could be anything but terrorist action. Has anyone claimed responsibility yet?

Rumours..

[evildrem.livejournal.com]

..are that its Al-Quaeda. Nothing definite has been said yet.

The Israeli Prime Minister was supposed to be at talks in London today. He had to cancel suddenly. Palestinian terrs, perhaps?

God, I hope not. He'd probably be cautious regardless of affilition once the police put out the word that they suspected something were under way.
