Attack on London

There is severe disruption in London this morning caused by a series of explosions in the city centre. It began with reports that a power surge had caused an incident at Aldgate Underground Station. As the morning wore on it became clear that a number of explosions had occured on the underground and the whole network been closed down by Transport for London. Then a call to the BBC described a bus that had been blown apart in Tavistock Square. A later report from an eye witness talked about the top deck of the bus being blown off.
The police have declared a major incident and the Ambulance Service is only treating people with life threatening injuries.
There is concern now that this is an attack on London. (11.00am) It's possibly timed to coincide with the G8 Conference in Gleneagles.
I sent a text to my son who works in London - thankfully he is still at home 30 miles away. I have that sinking feeling that this is a sinister event. After the euphoria of winning the Olympic bid yesterday the city is today in chaos. My immediate reaction is that it will only serve to stiffen our resolve to defeat terrorism and to root out the evil that is being events like this.
