Target... London

Stardate 4207.7

LONDON - At least 40 people were killed in the explosions that ripped through three London subway trains and a bus on Thursday, according to a U.S. law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because British officials have yet to make public the death toll.

The near simultaneous explosions caused at least 300 injuries in what Prime Minister Tony Blair said was a "barbaric" terrorist attack.

These attacks came a day after the announcement that London won the bid for the 2012 Olympics and coincide perfectly with the G8 Summit in Scotland.

Of course now, there are likely more questions than answers, and it would seem they are saying al Qaeda has claimed responsibility, but then anyone could call and say that. I fear the reprisal as much as the attacks.

Sad day. Sad world.
