Update on the attacks

Swindon and Brighton train stations evacuated becuase of security fears- neither town is close to London. No reports of explosions though.

Six explosions in London.

Rumours of the BBC blaming Al Qaeda. Up until a little while ago they were saying that the bombs couldn't be attributed to terrorists.

The BBC website is reporting that the Olympic bid team has suspended celebrations. As if anyone fucking cares about them.

Update- Tony Blair has just delivered his speech- key point- we're more determined to defeat terrorism than they are to defeat us. He looked pretty shaken, but it's good to have him say that his resolve has not been.

News has been reporting on six blasts. They're now saying that there might have been a seventh blast.

Europhobia reports that he might be moved away from the windows of his office- he's in London near a bus route. Is this over yet?

Update- After about a half hour or so of stability in the news there are now reports of possibly another bomb in London, perhaps on a bus. No one seems quite sure on the different TV channels I'm checking. Apart from the fantastic updates from Europhobia the news websites are lagging behind the TV reports. Rumours now that Al Qaeda have claimed responsibility too. One horrifying fact- the BBC news ticker reports that the double decker bus which was blown up was packed- it was so full they were turning people away. Possibly a suicide bomber attack too, though this has not been confirmed.

Update- Channel Five news is reporting six blasts on the underground and three bus attacks. That's nine in total. Roughly an hour since the last attack (?) and the news services don't seem to even be sure exactly what has happened. Pundits already saying that attacks were for 'effect' rather than to inflict casualities. Odd thing to say considering that no one has any idea how many have been killed yet.

Update- An anonymous commenter over at Europhobia is reporting that Marines have shot a man suspected of being a suicide bomber in the Canary Wharf area of the city. Could it be true? Check out the comments over there for updates. Been browsing the live bloggers and Europhobia is getting some good stuff out. Moonbats over at the Guardian are already blaming this on Blair. Damn them.

Update- Nothing new. TV news are reporting only four confirmed attacks- that seems to be based on the four incidents mentioned by the Home Secretary in the House of Commons. Still no word on casualties. Very little reporting from the scenes of the attacks. Could be that means that when we do hear about the dead and wounded it will be a bit of a shock. I'm expecting the worst. Wikipedia monitoring the event. BBC reporter's blog also makes for handy reading.
