ITV news has reported that, the BBC have said that several different groups have claimed responcibility on a varaity of websites. It's too early to say who it actually is.

The Home Secretary has confirmed four explosions, the others are unconfirmed. The BBC reported that according to a source at one of the hospitals casualties so far are in the tens not the hundreds.

But there are no real details yet.

Latest report I have is 45 dead and at least 1K injured.

Wonder how long it'll take the apologists to start vomiting up excuses for this latest barbaric action from the "poor, misunderstood Islamic insurgents"...

There is no excuse for this sort of thing anywhere in the world.

47 here according to the BBC News. Blair just gave a very pointed speech; much like "We shall go on to the end. We shall fight on the seas and oceans......we shall never surrender!". (Winston Churchill). It was like that. Announcements will be made soon regarding the British response.

This is the price of being an ally. I expect a declaration of some sort before morning, or by late tomorrow. I fear for my parents friends in London and their relations.
