London Subway - 6 Explosions - 90 Serious Casualties

BBC World reported that the 6 explosions occurred near Liverpool Station, Russell Square (bus explosion was at Tavistock Square and not Rusell Square as I mentioned in an earlier post), Moorgate, Bank, Kingscross and Edgeware Station (where Malayisa Hall used to be when I was in London some years ago).

90 serious casualties have been confirmed thoiugh deaths are yet to be - the latter is usually later when the corpse and identities have been ascertained.

Initially I thought the single explosion I gleaned from the news could be due to some electrical-mechanical problem in the tube system, but even before news of the multi-explosions became known, the bus explosion convinced me it has been a coordinated attack - probably to coincide with the G8 meeting in the UK.

STOP PRESS
BBC alert service just informed that 2 deaths at Aldgate confirmed.
