It seems that 7 bombs have been planted/exploded in london.
According to radio 4 there have been 28 casualties, 9 or so of which have been fatal.
It is sad that this has happened - but it was inevitable. It was only a matter of when. The question is whether the emergency services can save enough lives.
With these incidents in mind, the british government will no doubt introduce new laws that will fail to counter terrorism but will counter freedoms.

it was really tragedy... each such event is a tragedy...
althought terrorism is really f*cked up thing it didn't come from nowhere: every powerful state which decide on aggresive foreign politics must think about consequences of it's deeds...
sad but true

as always it appears that foreign news services know more... (usually the case).
Given what's happened, the comments from the politicians have been quite bland.

yeah... politicians would gladly say it was only a gas explosion or such...

Knowing of some people that live and work around London, I am concerned for them and all the others killed and injured. Why must humans hate each other so much to cause such misery and pain????

violence is the final solution:
is the negotiations fail (or there are no negotiations...) desperated people treat violence as their last chance to do anything...

They ought to have learned from the IRA bombings that terrorism doesn't work on us British.
People are saying it's Al-quieda... But this isn't their style.
Apparantly one of the detonations was activated by mobile phone, so they've shut down the networks.
BBC Radio 5 report from Scotland Yard says that apparently the bomb on the bus is the result of the first known suicide bomber in the UK.
A good quote from a witness:
"Whoever did this, I pity them."
"Pity?"
"Yes. Whoever would commit such an act needs pity."
