FullAuto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Good heads up anyway, and welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Thanks for the welcome. There is word now of six underground explosions and three bus explosions. It is speculated that it was a terrorist attack, but police is asking the media not to speculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well, they can't all be power surges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernel Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 5 tube explosions and 1 bus explosion. Tony Blair said it was a terrorist attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitaire Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Cheeky bastards eh? seven explosions now. We've had worse from the IRA as callous as that may sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Aye, lots worse.Four confirmed explosions, investigating the others now. Six Tube, one bus. Apparently a message on some Islamist website has claimed responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullAuto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Blair says it's 'reasonably clear' it was a concerted terrorist attack. No, Tony, it was half a dozen different terrorist groups, and their bombs just happened to go off on the same day. Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Haha Clever bastard aint he? I think the original idea was a power surge, it's not that stupid I suppose, they thought 9/11 was accidental at first I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Aye, I think the bus explosion got rid of that idea. I can't wait to see how Bush takes advantage of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well he was standing behind Blair while he was giving a speech.. I wonder if he had his hand up his arse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 More than that, I imagine. He's going to be all over this, with a 'let's redouble the War on Terror, yeehaw!' polemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 haha I like the yeehaw bit, I'd fight for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 "We will not allow violence to change our society or our values." No, Tony, but we will bomb their thier homes and kill inoocent people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I just watched Bush's statement, nothing warlike, just condolences, he did say he's raising security in the US, because obviously if anywhere is attacked then surely America will be next..

FullAuto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Nothing warlike yet, anyway. Bit too soon for that. Apparently, a terrorist statement said Italy and Denmark can expect the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullAuto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Easy targets, that's all. Pretty much impossible to defend against stuff like this. I think people were expecting a swarthy bloke in robes, wearing shades and carrying a box with 'bomb' on it in big red letters.They'll be dressed like anyone else, and they'll be on a plane by now.

Solitaire Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I think they're saying it was bombs in rucksacks like in Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Aye, no shock there. Worst thing is, if they're living here, they can go back to their normal lives and do this again in future. Not likely though. Even if they're long gone, they know it's a viable thing to do in other cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 That's interesting actually, I wonder what else we can expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
