Not much information here yet, but this already appears to have the potential to be a 9/11-type blow to the British psyche. No word yet whether this is Al Qaeda, some militant offshoot of the IRA, or someone or something else. But a lot of people are hurt, and a lot are scared. Please be praying for England and the British people today.
Near simultaneous explosions rocked the London Underground network and three buses at the morning rush hour, police said, causing fatalities and prompting officials to shut down the entire underground transport network.And let us pray, if this is terrorism, that the British respond in a way different from the Spanish.
In the first report of casualties, City of London police told CNN there had been two fatalities at Aldgate east station.
The explosions came a day after London was awarded the 2012 Olympics and as the G8 summit was getting underway in Scotland. Initial reports blamed a power surge, but officials were not ruling out a terrorist attack.
