I can understand the logic behind it, and I have myself wondering If Australia was attacked, would I retaliate? and the answer is yes, I feel I would defend my country. But the fact of the matter is, I can not sympathise with people who target innocent civilians, simply because they exist. I've never condoned terrorisim, but I could understand them to a certain extent - but the moment they indisciminantly murder innocents, any kind of understanding I have is extingised. Thats the main difference between the IRA and muslim extremists/fundamentalists imo.



Oh god...Bush is on. Shot him. Or shot me. He jumps on terrorist attacks like a fat kid does to chocolate. He sickens me sometimes.
:) yes, I know, killing of any kind is wrong, however...sometimes...it is deemed necessary. And whoever deems it necessary has his own arguments for it...
unfortunately utopia is not possible, and when we have two clashing...contexts, if you will, and people on both sides wanting to jump on the bandwagon, wanting to exploit the situation....conflict is inevitable.

i for one care about the people in london, i was worried as shit all evening as my sister is currently living there and catches the tube to work every day. Since the mobile phone network was so strained we couldn't get in touch with her until about 9pm, two whole hours after the event was officially reported

Yes I and everyone on here realises that innocents get killed in iraq, africa, and any other war torn and 3rd world nation you wish to mention, but for christ sake shut the fuck up and keep your socialist views to yourself for the time being

woo hoo! Go smegthehead!

At least its not as bad as the Madrid bombing, one would think the British would be well prepared for bombings after decades of IRA conflicts.

jm, if you are still online, could you possibly update your initial post with a few links from the smh.com.au, news.com.au, abc.net.au/news, etc. sites? It may help those who are interested (yet too lazy to look for themselves) learn more about the situation.
ok done

I have the feeling that the number of dead is being supressed
bbc world coverage was saying an hour ago in their ticker that there were 50 dead, even though two were confirmed dead at the time

Report: Islamic Group Claims London Blasts 26 minutes ago



CAIRO, Egypt - A group calling itself "The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe" posted a claim of responsibility for Thursday's blasts in London, saying they were in retaliation for Britain's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The authenticity of the message could not be immediately confirmed.

The statement, which also threatened attacks in Italy and Denmark, was published on a Web site popular with Islamic militants, according to Elaph, a secular Arabic-language news Web site, and Der Spiegel magazine in Berlin, which published the text on their Web sites.

"Rejoice, Islamic nation. Rejoice, Arab world. The time has come for vengeance against the Zionist crusader government of Britain in response to the massacres Britain committed in Iraq and Afghanistan," said the statement, translated by The Associated Press in Cairo. The AP was unable to access the Web site where it was posted, which was closed quickly after the reports.

The group al-Qaida in Europe claimed responsibility for the last major terror attack in Europe: a string of bombs that hit commuter trains in Madrid, Spain in March 2004, killing 191 people. Two days after that attack, a video was found in a trash can outside a Madrid mosque with a statement purported to be from the group's spokesman, called by the nickname "Abu Dujan al Afghani."

In the new statement, the group said "the heroic mujahedeen carried out a blessed attack in London, and now Britain is burning with fear and terror, from north to south, east to west."

"We warned the British government and the British people repeatedly. We have carried out our promise and carried out a military attack in Britain after great efforts by the heroic mujahedeen over a long period to ensure its success."

"We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all crusader governments that they will receive the same punishment if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan," the statement went on.

It was signed "The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe."

******
These people are warped and sick. Using wars and atrocities to further their own quest for power and political expediency.

"The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe"

What type of names is this?

I doubt this group has relations to the original Saudi Arabian Bin Laden al-Qaidia. Sounds like a "bandwagon" cell.

wasn't it

The Secret Organization - Al-Qaida in Europe

and i don't think it'll be much of an issue whether or not this group is directly associated with al-qaida or not. i mean, it has al-qaida in it's name, right?
