Explosions in London (Bus and Tube) - Terrorists?

[Kurt]

The Mossad personnally confirmed with jewish families in the London area that none would enter the city that day. I read in on the Internet and my friend Avi says it's true.

My aunt Janice from NYC says the suicide missions were a failure as they haven't found a single dead arab on the explosion sites. But she says the CIA might have removed the corpses before the UK police showed up - for fear of repression against Israel by the Hamas (it's a known fact that the Hamas always attacts after arabs are killed).

Personally, I think it's because the French are disappointed they didn't win the race for the Olympics. It might even have been the Corsica separatists' doing, in hope to put the blame on the mainland.

On the live coverage on BBC World, they were hinting at an Israeli link. One of their informants said it was known in those circles that something was up (Israeli minister of finance didn't show up at his meeting in Londen - prior to the first attack !).

Why even repeat that? The UK was attacked. Not by Israel, of that everyone can be sure. There are more important things going on than the need to use every opportunity to condemn the Jooz.

There are people who so desperately want to believe what you wrote. I just don't think it's time for jokes yet.

[schmosef]

Would it not be better to miss out all the speculation and report just known facts?

Agreed.

[Jessterw]

Yes, let's try to keep to just the facts and leave the speculation to other places. It's not going to do any of us good to bringing touchy subjects and conspiracy theories into this.

I am shocked, sadnend, and all my sympathy goes to the families affected.

SHIT! I did not see that at first, only after schmo quoted it....man did you get me upset! good one ROFLMAO (at myself mostly though)

As for sticking to the facts: an AQ cell just took reponsibility.

So much for that.

Our condolences as well. Unfortunately now that London has won the Olympic bid it's likely to provoke these mad dogs even more.

An unknown AQ cell which is still speculative.

It may be or it could equally be someone trying to cash in on others' dirty work.

IIRC it was Netanyahu who was late for a meeting that would have placed him close to the site of the bus bomb. Being late for a meeting in congested central London is nothing unusual.

BBC reports an Al-Q splinter/wannabe group claimed responsibility, with a cracking bit of rhetoric saying : "Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters."

Which couldnt be much further from the truth, I think we were more worried on 9/11. If anything, Britain is now burning with desire for a cup of tea and wondering if the trains will run tommorow or they'll get a day off.

[Kurt]

Which reminds me I need to buy scones...

Good call.

They also forgot "center Britain".

Anyway, as usual you have various claims of responsibility from wannabe terrorists. You can't really know and probably no one in the know will tell.

We can just hope that they catch the bastards and the ones behind them.

Well who ever did it doesnt have command of the english language down too well:

"The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe"

Not too secret now are you?

[Jessterw]

No group has taken official responsibility for the bombings. While the website in question has been used prior for such statements, last I heard there was no hard, fast evidence to support anything other than speculation.

[Dr Mordrid]

OK, if it isn't AQ then the other group that uses this tactic (small bomb, get a crowd then set off the big one) is HAMAS, but they tend to stick to Israel.

Which is your pleasure?

But anyway, I would recommend any healthy person living in the UK to contact the nearest blood bank and donate blood, it`s usually in high demand after large accidents and terrorist attacks.
