5+ Bomb blasts in London but light casualties

From BBC
Quote:
Two die in London terror blasts

Two people have been killed and scores have been injured after at least seven blasts on the Underground network and a double-decker bus in London.
Thank god this has not been anywhere as extreme as it has been this morning and that this is the end of it...

Most of the major news websites, including the BBC, are still reporting between 2 - 10 deaths and 200+ injured.

I have direct access to AP.

and the London Committee report is from a friend of a friend in London.
from the same person:

one of my mates said he was half way from old street station to goswell road when the explosion occurred - he says 4 minutes later and he would have been right there. his first text was "the c**ts missed me at old street

heh! lucky bastard.
