Oh no! London attacked :(

[Su-Yin]

- First explosion reported at 8.59am London time (17.59 AEST).

- At least one London bus blown up in Russell Square, reports of two others in Marylebone and South Kensington.

- Explosions reported at Underground stations Edgware Road, King's Cross, Liverpool Street, Old Street, Russell Square, Aldgate East and Moorgate.

- London transport system shutdown.

- At least 12 dead, 185 injured

Near simultaneous explosions rocked the London Tube and three double-decker buses at the morning rush hour today.

There were reports of deaths and scores of injuries along with fears of a coordinated terror attack.

Security experts said the apparent attacks bore all the hallmarks of the al Qaeda network.

"If what are looking at is a simultaneous bombing, and it does look like that, it would very certainly fit the classic al Qaeda methodology which centres precisely on that, multi-seated hits on transport and infrastructural targets,'' said Dr Shane Brighton, intelligence expert at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence.
