London Underground attacks

Cross posted at Political Arguments.

Several bombs went off at rush hour today in the London Underground and bus system. As of now, forty people are reported dead and 300 injured, but the numbers are expected to rise. The pattern of the attacks resembles last year's Madrid bombings.


The BBC has more news. I'll update this post as I come across other sources.
