Tsl 7 Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) Man, saw this on the news as I was feeding a baby. If I'm hearing about it in the US, it must be bad. At first they were reporting that the company that runs the subway or whatever was saying it was an accident, but now I'm hearing the T-word. Sounds a little suspicious, wide spread and coordinated for an accident to me. EDIT: Ah, now Prime Minister Blair is on saying it's terrorists, so it must be so. It was a good speech, the bit I caught just now. Edited July 7, 2005 by Tsl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted July 7, 2005 I only just got up, so I have teh TV on. Everything is under control though... we have over a hundred years of experience dealing with terrorist attacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) just...my God...I woke up to it and just sat there for awhile...My dad came down stairs when the bus blew up...Just....all those poor people...Who would do something like that? What brings a person to want to do anything like that? And now someone is telling me that there is a webiste where someone admitted to doing it before it happened...So...that will be interesting..

Ender 8 Posted July 7, 2005 At first I heard on the news that some were saying the IRA was responsible for at least one of the blasts, but now an Al Qaeda group is claiming responsibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted July 7, 2005 yeah, a european branch of Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility. The police ruled out the IRA because if it were they would have had at least some intelligence or warnings. The similarities to the Madrid blasts make Al-Qaeda a fairly safe bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted July 7, 2005 *sigh* It still never ceases to amze me, the disregard that people have for human life. But then, we you don't even look the people that you kill in the eye, it must make it a lot easier. ewoking cowards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted July 7, 2005 Because CNN are going to be so reliable when talking about an event that happened thousands of miles away. :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indie-Girl 0 Posted July 7, 2005 im worried about my friend who (i think) uses the train to get to school in london :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted July 7, 2005 yeah me too...and i don't know if one of my friends is still in london or if she finally got to paris... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted July 7, 2005 Ok, I just woke up and Du told me about this. That's just awful. I hope that the people that did this rot in hell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted July 7, 2005 has anyone thought about what country could be next? i mean...not to be depressing or anything...but it's very possible... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GI_Admiral 2 Posted July 7, 2005 Just woke up too. This just shows the need to adapt more to the modern world. We need more and better counter intelligence, and not more and better armies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted July 7, 2005 The chances of people you know being hurt is low, I think. There is probably more chance of them being killed in a car accident than being caught in those blasts. Seriously. London was prepared and the majority of London is carrying on as normal. And Scotland Yard has confirmed that there was no warning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted July 7, 2005 yeah, that's what the news just said here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) Today, 7th July 2005, London suffered it's worst terrorist attack in history. At least 33 have been brutally murdered by terrorists, and the numbers are still rising. Please show your solidarity against terrorism and your respects towards the victims by placing an X at the beginning of your display name. Please pass this on to everyone in your contacts list. Thankyou. I put an (f) in mine too. tis like a rosey type flower thing. Edited July 7, 2005 by beeurd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
