News from London

MSNBC is reporting that more than 40 people were killed in today's terrorist attacks in London, and as many as 300 were wounded.

Terrorist Attack in London

Tony Blair said today's explosions in London were an apparent terror attack, according to Reuters.

Witnesses saw the top was ripped off a double-decker bus near Russell Square close to King's Cross train terminal and the twisted wreckage of another in Tavistock Square nearby.

Several underground subway stations also were hit.

"It is reasonably clear that there have been a series of terrorist attacks in London," Blair told reporters at the [G8] summit. He said he would return to London.
