London Rush Hour Explosions
Waking to the news that terrorists have set off explosives during rush hour in the subway and on buses in London. Just heard back from two friends, Pierre and Lanka; both fine. Pierre passes through two of the stations that were hit. I was worried when I could not raise Pierre by cell phone but happily was able to communicate via email. Pierre mentioned that he believes the mobile phone networks have been disabled in order to prevent the detonation of explosives via the mobile network.
Have to believe that the explosions are timed to disrupt the G8 summit… which will go on. Ironic that the presumably disenfranchised terrorists would effort to disrupt a meeting designed to marshall aid from the powerful countries to those less powerful.
Question: How long before they can confirm that these conventional explosions were not some sort of “dirty bomb” that released radioactive or biological materials?
