London Struck by Terrorism

Mae and I were all settled in, watching the charity boxing match between former members of the NZ All Blacks and British Lions national all-star rugby teams when, at about 10:30PM local NZ time, the show was interrupted with this breaking news:

LONDON (Reuters) - Explosions rocked London on Thursday, killing several people and wounding scores in what Prime MinisterTony Blair said was an apparent terror attack coinciding with a meeting of Group of Eight leaders in Scotland.

I just watched Tony Blair's public statement, and he stated what we already know: It's terrorism. Just who is responsible? It's too early to call. It was the opening day of the G8 summit, so it could be the Leftist/anarchist-types; but I doubt it. I'd be really surprised if it's the IRA. However, given the huge impact the Muslims have had in recent years on British society, the number of radical imams and mullahs that live among them, and the modus operandi, I'm putting my money on the great religion of peace.

This story will develop faster than I can cover it, so we'll catch-up in the morning.

Both Mae and I extend our prayers to our allies in Britain and to the injured and dead, their families and friends. May God bless you one and all.
