I don't reaaly think that this has much to do with the Olympics in London. I think that attacks like this must take time to plan.....but I could be wrong.
It probably did however have to do with the G8 summit. A great way to take the focus off this important event.
Regardless, I'd like to express my sympathy for those that were victims of this attack. My thoughts go out to those people and their families.
As a longtime lurker, and sometime poster. I'd just like to express my happiness that our UK NTers all seem to be accounted for. I'm glad you guys are OK...it's good to see you posting.Regardless,

if it was about the bid they would have been ready in paris and ny and madrid as well..
i think it had to coincide with G8.

On the public radio here they are saying an Al-Queda affiliate is claiming responsibility and saying it was retaliation for the war UK's involvement in Iraq. Also threatened Denmark and Italy...

The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, has more authority in this situation, and he made a more constructive speech:
"This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty and the powerful; it is not aimed at presidents or prime ministers; it was aimed at ordinary working class Londoners, black and white, Muslim and Christians, Hindu and Jew, young and old, indiscriminate attempt at slaughter irrespective of any considerations, of age, of class, of religion, whatever, that isn't an ideology, it isn't even a perverted faith, it's just indiscriminate attempt at mass murder, and we know what the objective is, they seek to divide London. They seek to turn Londoners against each other and Londoners will not be divided by this cowardly attack," said Mr Livingston.
He then had a message for the terrorists who had organised the explosions.
"I wish to speak through you directly, to those who came to London to claim lives, nothing you do, how many of us you kill will stop that flight to our cities where freedom is strong and where people can live in harmony with one another, whatever you do, how many you kill, you will fail."
(thanks Ell)

Depends on different phones... but try either turning it off and back on again... or just turning wireless on and off again... I did that and about 5 messages came through...
