London bombings: online info
p2pnet.net News:- Three Islamist groups have apparently now claimed responsibility for the terrorist bombs which devastated central London in England, killing more than 50 people and leaving 700 others wounded, some of them critically.
UK government ministers said the bombings, “bore all the hallmarks of the Islamic militant al Qaeda network which was behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States,” according to Reuters.
People looking for information are still going online for updates, and perhaps news of relatives who may have been victims of the four attacks.
“People turned to the net in their millions to check friends and family were fine following the London attacks,” says the BBC.
“Some news sites got a month’s traffic on Thursday and the huge surge in visitors caused problems for others” and, “E-mail traffic reportedly doubled in response to congestion on mobile networks which made it hard to get through to people in central London.”

Can EU attack the actual people who started this crap on 9/11…. Afghanistan! Oh golly, they would cost the Bush family their Oil deal they struck to route discount-priced oil from Afghanistan through occupied Iraq territory but at least they’d be going after the ‘right’ people instead of completing one man’s failure…… make that two.
Just my 10 cents.
