07 Jul 05 - 08:09 AM (#1516849) Subject: RE: BS: Explosions in London transport system From: GUEST,Grab Latest news says two dead, but I'd be amazed if there weren't more, given the reports of an underground carriage and a double-decker bus both ripped apart. Scares the hell out of me, especially since I came into work in Basildon round the M25 - suppose they'd done the Dartford tunnel or bridge instead? The question I'm wondering about though, which no-one's asked yet in the media as I can see, is: who would be doing it this time? The IRA would be stupid to do this now (although there are splinter groups like the Real IRA who are loony enough). Al-Qaeda are likely to get the blame and are probably #1 suspect anyway, but it's a dangerously glib explanation that leans a bit too heavily on the public frenzy whipped up by Bush and Blair over the "war on terror".

He started out in London, then went to the continent, and I think he was going to go back to London again. Here's hoping he's still on the continent. |
