Three small bombs go off in London

[Martino]

Details are sketchy, but three London tube stations have been closed after renewed incidents, which may just be smoke bombs.

Nail bomb at Warren St tube. Just so people can get an idea of the locations - Shepherds' Bush is West London, Oval is to the south, and Warren St is towards central/north. Again, there's been a bus bomb in east London.

Scary! :eek:

ok...well we are being evacuated from work...again..
im starting to get a little unnerved..
come september i wll be totally relying on the tube system (if we have anything left!!) to cart me about London..hmmm

This doesn't seem to be as major as the incidents on the 7th July. Still no concrete information, just reports of bangs and smoke.

[VV o n g B a]

i wonder what the point of it was. i hear the explosives were only detonator caps. was it a botched practice run? or did their bombmaker screw up? whoever did it is gonna get caught pretty quick i bet.

It appears from our news sources that the bombs misfired and only the detonators exploded, not the explosive.

[Faithless]

jesus, England, how are you able to cope? :frown:

There are now stories that it was a botched job - apparently, the police are now looking for a man (6'2 light Indian, blue top with a hole at the back of it with wires poking out) who exclaimed something went wrong.

Warren St is close to University College Hospital, where some of the fortnight's injured are staying, so the police think that he could be a possible suicide bomber who escaped from hospital.

At least tubes are still up and running.

Small explosions... large cordons... emergency workers wearing cheminal suits. I guess the fear is it might have been a dirty bomb, but I stress there are absolutely no reported casualties, no scenes of walking wounded.

'walking wounded'..that always makes me cringe..

to be honest England is in no state..we are all fine..no one is freaking out at all..people are just a tad bit psised as if this carries on we'll ahve no blody tube line and its fucked up enough as it is..at the end of the day life goes on..its just a shame that we get shat on while bastard blair ponces around untouched..WANKER!!

yeah im annoyed cos we are back at work..bah!! oh well 15 mins to go..

no chemical attack..small explosions, no injuries..apparently they were nail bombs..so whose behind this only the government know..

Mmm, glad you're all doing well. Sucks that this all had to happen again (despite the much smaller scale), but you London'ers/UK'ers are a tough bunch. Stay strong, stay safe. :smile:

Sounds like the work of copycats/amateurs. Hopefully they're already arrested and have some valuable information. But more than likely they're just as clueless as anyone else.

I wonder if this is going to become a habit. :rolleyes:

You know, I predicted this would be the typical English attitude and I'm proud to know that I was right.

As a country that has had bombings in it's recent history, I have no idea why terrorists decided to mess with her.

They can't scare her into withdrawing from the war as did a country that shall remain nameless. I just can't picture her being bullied to do anything against her will.

All these bombings are gonna to serve to do is get the English pissed.

I thought it was four bombs according to the latest updates?

[yoMAMA]

so, internment camps in the works for muslim britans?

[at least that's what////////////////you get my drift].
