Shit... London again... I hope not
This doesn't look good.

Security alerts at three London stations-police

LONDON (Reuters) - Emergency services were rushed to three London underground stations on Thursday, exactly two weeks after bomb attacks killed more than 50 people.

2. Me too
I didn't want to repeat what is in the other forums, but I didn't know if the lounge people have heard this yet.
I am hoping everyone is OK over there.

4. BBC reports "dummy explosions", "detonators only"...
Metropolitan Police say "not serious incidents".

Brainless scum trying to cause a panic, it sounds like.

8. That's what it sounds like...
there are reports of a nail bomb, no casualties reported as yet though (not sure on the accuracy of the report, either).

9. ITN and MSNBC just said there was one injured.
Did not hear where. I think it was associated to the nail bomb.

6. You know if this is the case, I would hate to be the persons who did this
If they catch them. I can not imagine the punishment that will be handed down. You know they will make an example of the person or persons.

12. Well they should be punished b/c the fear they
are creating is horrible. They are playing on the vulnerability of the people. I really hate this stuff.

15. Yeah, I wonder if it is some

7. Remember after 9-11?
For weeks we had "scares". I too think it is just some idiots trying to screw things up. I'm hoping it wasn't "duds".

13. Yeah, me too.
But 0 out of 3 makes it seem they weren't, unless whoever made the devices was incredibly incompetent...

11. sounds like they're getting the 'anthrax scares' that we got in DC

Let's hope everyone is ok!

16. Latest from BBC: Tube cleared after minor blasts


Minor explosions using detonators only have sparked the evacuation of three Tube stations and the closure of three lines, a BBC correspondent has said.

Police cordoned off large areas around Warren Street, Oval and one of the Shepherd's Bush Tube stations.

A route 26 bus in Hackney Road in Bethnal Green had its windows blown out by a blast. There were no injuries.

Police in London say they are not treating the situation as "a major incident yet".

17. Don't rule out intentional lack of vigiliance in this case.
The USA has forked over mega-billions after the fake post 9/11 scares. Don't rule out plants! The temptation to get stinking rich is far too great.
