Explosions hit London as G8 leaders meet - Yahoo! News
Shit.

LONDON (Reuters) - A series of explosions ripped through London's underground rail system on Thursday morning, killing several people, in what appeared to be co-ordinated attacks to coincide with the start of a G8 summit in Scotland.

Blasts were also reported on buses. Eyewitnesses said the top was ripped off a double-decker bus near Russell Square close to King's Cross train terminal.

They saw the twisted wreckage of a second bus nearby.

People were seen streaming out of one underground station covered with blood and soot. Passengers were evacuated from stations across the capital, many in shock and with their clothes ripped to shreds, witnesses said.

The cause of the blasts, which occurred one day after London was awarded the 2012 Olympics, was unknown, but police said many of the city's underground stations were affected.

Security experts said the incidents bore all the hallmarks of terror network al Qaeda.

"If we what are looking at is a simultaneous bombing -- and it does look like that -- it would very certainly fit the classic al Qaeda methodology," said Dr. Shane Brighton, intelligence expert at the Royal United Services Institute for Defense.

Watch America go ballistic this morning. Watch Blair and Bush use this as proof that their moves in "the war on terror" are right. Why, they've made us safer, haven't they? Watch the markets tank.

Oh, shit.
