London appears to have once again been the target of attacks, 3 tube stations closed and an explosion on a bus in Hackney, injuries so far are minimal with only one confirmed person injured at Warren St station.

More tube stations being closed as time goes on.


Our prayers go out to all those caught up in this nightmare.

Another nightmare!
They think a woman was injured from being trampled when people were stampeding to get out. They say people helped her to get out.

Unbelievable!

The BBC currently has information claiming the bombs were dummy nail bombs, with just a detonator but no explosives, it would appear that they aim to cause panic and distruption rather than actual harm to people.
It still is not being classed as a "major incident" by the authorities.

I'm sorry to hear the news. It must be frightening as well as maddening.

I wish there was something I could do other then look on in anger.

My best to you all

Latest reports say that the injured person at Warren st was the person that carried in the device and detonated it, they have been taken to a nearby hospital under armed police guard along with a sniffer dog to check for explosives.

Thanks Cate, luckily yet again I was at home. To be honest it just makes me cross rather than frightened.

A man has just been arrested by armed police officers outside the MoD offices in Whitehall, which is situated only a few hundred yards from Downing st.

There is about to be a press conference from Tony Blair at 10 Downing st.
