God bless you all and especially those affected.

An Al Qaeda group has claimed responsibility - ITV news

Still, we're more interested in the human side of the equation here rather than any political issues behind it, so no discussion about who may or not be behind it please. It will all become clear in due time anyway.

Sadly casualty figures are bound to rise as the underground trains which have been affected are investigated. The emergency services are coping brilliantly though.

I'm feeling pretty jittery as if I'd caught a slightly earlier train I could have been around the Aldgate explosion as I get the Circle Line around from there most days.

I known the feeling. I was on a train from London to Oxford once when the train pulled up just before Reading station. We waited on the train without news for about an hour before heading back. Turned out there was an IRA bomb at Reading station. The device was defused by the Bomb Squad.

Good to hear from everyone being okay so far!

Calling all London and neighbooring areas ENWorlders! Please report!

And my sympathies to everyone in Great Britain. This is friggin' awful.

Ditto.

Very sad to see this.

Glad to hear the UK residents thus far reporting in o.k. here. Continued best wishes for everyone. Really upsetting, deeply saddened.

Good luck to everyone, stay as safe as you can.

Take care.

Ingrid has just phoned me, she was going to try to get a train home but she heard possible report of attack on overland trains so she's going to walk. It's about 10 mile walk home but she's hoping to get a bus from Elephant & Castle in Zone 2.

That was a factual report.

This is ridiculous. Great knee-jerk, politically correct moderating, there.

What's to discuss? I would certainly hope that any "discussion" that might arise here would be pretty much a one-sided, universal condemnation of the attack and those responsible.

I'm just not feeling that Eric's grandma is an Al Qaeda sympathizer who will be offended if we place blame on those claiming responsibility.

There is a claim of responsibility by a new al Qaeda grop. As I am listenting to CNN it is of course unconfirmed and comes from a new website.
