Terrorists Strike In London - Mass Casualties

This posting will remain at the top of the page throughout the day - appended as needed

This is a major terrorist incident. Many people have been killed and injured, although the numbers remain unclear. There were at least seven explosions, six of which were in the London Tubes. One blew apart a double-decker bus. Some unconfirmed reports that this is the work of al Qaeda and that one of the bombs was detonated by a suicide bomber.

Ken Livingstone, a man not noted for his grasp of reality, had a moment of clarity when he noted that this was an attack not on presidents and the powerful, but an attempt at mass murder.

UPDATE:
My dad noted that he saw heightened security at Hoboken, which is a terminus of NJ Transit trains. I didn't notice that when I went through the same station earlier in the morning. There was no apparent increase in security on PATH either, although there were cops stationed outside the station where I exited. I would expect a show of force throughout the day and probably through the week as a result of the terrorist attack.

UPDATE II:
Added the Union Jack.

UPDATE III:
Heightened security precautions taken in NJ - affecting PATH and NJ Transit. Heightened security measures taken in NY.

At least 33 people are confirmed murdered in the terrorist attacks.
