as Blair said, it was most likely to disrupt the summit. some reports were saying it had to do with London being awarded the Olympics, but it just seems too soon to have coordinated this type of attack.
Hopefully there wont be any more explosions and I hope everyone out there stays safe.
looks like al-Qaeda is saying they did it...was only a matter of time before they posted claim to it.
from BBC.com:
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said it was "reasonably clear" there had been a series of terrorist attacks.
He said it was "particularly barbaric" it was timed to coincide with the G8 summit and he was returning to London.
An Islamist website has posted a statement - purportedly from al-Qaeda - claiming it was behind the attacks.
London's police chief Sir Ian Blair said traces of explosive had been found at one site.
He urged people to stay where they were and not to call emergency services unless it was a life-threatening situation.
Sir Ian said there had been "many casualties" but it was too early to put a figure to those killed or injured.
He reassured the public that an emergency plan was in place and the situation was "steadily coming under control".
Home Secretary Charles Clarke told reporters outside Downing Street: "The health services are in support to deal with the terrible injuries that there have been."
Scotland Yard said explosions have been reported at Edgware Road, King's Cross, Liverpool Street, Russell Square, Aldgate East and Moorgate.
