Sounds like the Sky news is coming from a US correspondent, I got the same figure just now from the BBC who stressed it is NOT confirmed and is just an estimate.

8-10 dead at Edgware road. 2 dead at Aldgate. They cannot give numbers until they have got to the people in the trains... there are rescue operations still going on.

So far only one politician has done a useful thing... Frank Dobson said, live on the BBC, that 'visits from politicians like myself are just a bloody nuisance!"

'Transport for London' are hoping to resume bus travel later today but people are asked not to travel into central London.

The Al Qaeda group claiming responsibility have not been heard of before.
