London Islamic Terrorist Attacks Murder 50+

So far, at least 50+ people have been confirmed murdered by the Islamic terrorists who detonated four bombs yesterday throughout London's transportation system. Three were detonated in their subway system and a fourth was detonated on a double decker bus. It seems that there may be a ton of forensic evidence to be gathered from the double decker bus because there are apparently reports that someone on the upper deck was seen fidgeting with a backpack after hearing that the bus would be detoured due to police actions (that turned out to be other bombs detonating). It may be that the bomber was himself killed, though not in a suicide bombing per se.

There appear to be parallels to the Madrid bombings, including the use of timers to set off explosions throughout the system. As we know, Madrid was targeted by al Qaeda. Police say this attack has all the hallmarks of an al Qaeda attack.

Drudge has been reporting (since confirmed by two networks) that two unexploded bombs were found.

Yesterday's reporting that one of the individual's suspected of being involved was a GitMo detainee released has not been confirmed.
