    Isn't it "Wake up time" for most of the US now? IIRC 5 or so hours behind us (NYC at least) I assume news sites will be majorly jammed now!

    I gotta say, as much as it disgusts me that Islamic extremeists do this, im sure we have our fair share of muslems on here and some of my best mates are so the backlash by uneducated people on these innocent people isnt gonna be nice :(

    YES and OMFG.

    I was SICK getting out of bed this morning and hearing this on my way to work...worried about all of you over there.

    BIT-TECHERS, IS EVERYONE OK?! Seriously. What the hell is happening with haz? have we heard from him!? Are there any other staff/mods/members we know to be in the danger zones right now?

    Any of our members got friends or family over there (or are there yourselves), you have our prayers here. Anyone who has someone they want specially mentioned, give a shoutout here.

    KelticFox, good luck.

    I can't get any quality feeds from your sites, so I'll tell you what's going on with ours. Radio today was all-london (I listen to NPR, a talk/news radio), they cancelled programming to cover the events.

    In 30 minutes, I listened to 3 separate CIA officials and experts on mideast terrorism. All say it bears every hallmark of Al Quaida. Blair even SOUNDS ill in the soundbyte they play of him over here. There has been only one claim to the act so far from a group called the "Secret" something division of Al Quaida Europe, the claim was posted on a site that has disseminated more of Bin Laden's official messages than anywhere else (so there's reason to believe the authenticity).

    They're lying their asses off and saying only 2 people dead, as well. I don't believe it.

    They are simply telling what they know to be fact at the moment. Over the next few days they will know more. Patience is a virture.

    I'm back in Norwich with my family, all our friends and family in London are okay and various relatives are being evacuated from key buildings. To those who have lost loved ones or been injured I offer my condolences.

    It's ok, I've just heard from him this minute - he's well... just stuck in a gridlock.

    Had a text from him, he's not anywhere near it but he can't get out because public transport is fubar/non-existant. :)

    Odd, the CIA guy said on the radio that the site who housed this has delivered more messages than even Al Jezeera. He said it was the *group* that was unheard of, but that they often make up names as they do this stuff to create a tag, essentially.

    I think haz is Wil Harris, isn't it?

    i can safely say the CIA have no idea what's going on & if they do they're lying to their country.
