The train bombs were, without exception, detonated when the trains were in the tunnels, and at least two when there were other trains passing, in order to cause the greatest amount of disruption. Initial reports suggested that the bus bomb might have been on its way to a tube station but either it detonated early or the bomber was delayed. The neighbourhoods affected are about 80% offices with probably 5% of actual residents, except Woburn Place where my friend George lives, it's probably about 60% offices and 40% very mixed residential. Racial distribution means nothing, the 'population' is wholly human.

Kings Cross is a major junction. An underground train going towards Kings Cross is, at that time of the morning, jam packed solid with people. Liverpool Street is also a major junction. That too, has a vast number of people going through it at that time of the morning. Aldgate is almost entirely offices but they are mostly financial establishments... imagine the chaos on the Stock Market if they were destroyed....! Again, it is a major junction and trains travelling through it are often packed. I cannot comment on Edgware Road as I don't travel through it very often. Woburn Place is a Square that has a higher proportion of residences, mainly flats and appartments above offices. Although the blast was enough to take the roof off the bus, it was sufficiently far enough away that there was little damage do buildings. George says his windows rattled but that was all. It seems that a lot of the blast impact was absorbed by the trees in the square.

The bombs detonated in an area where there IS NO PARTICULAR RACIAL OR RELIGIOUS PREDOMINENCE. They were detonated where there were people.

The initial question was 'why was Guilliano interviewed about London?' That question has been well and truly answered, neighbourhoods, races, colours and creeds were not mentioned.
