Beautiful morning in Milan, but I wake up to find London in chaos.
From BBC:
[One caller to BBC Five said his friend had seen "the bus ripped open like a can of sardines and bodies everywhere".]
[Prime Minister Tony Blair, at the G8 summit in Gleneagles, says there has been "a series of terrorist attacks in London... people have died and are seriously injured... It is reasonably clear this is designed and timed to coincide with the opening of the G8". He says he will return to London within hours, but that the summit will continue without him.]
The explosions, according to the British Transport Police, took place at Aldgate East, Edgware Rd, Kings Cross, Moorgate, Russell Square tube stations. All London Underground service has been suspended and bus services in London Zone One have been halted. London citizens are asked not to leave their homes today.
In far away Italy, the first thing I did was to send loads of SMS to my friends in the English capital city. Got just one answer.
[The mobile phone network must be extremely jammed over there.]
"London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared - and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls..."
