Evidently timed to coincide with Britain's hosting the G8 Summit, coordinated attacks on London's transportation system shut down rush hour this morning.  Bombs exploded nearly simultaneously in tube stations and double decker buses. As of this writing, two are known dead and many injured.

Now many more are known dead and some 700 wounded.  As of this morning, laughably, Al-Qaeda/Europe had denied resposibility.  There is something about the blood of innocents that makes hairsplitting an unpopular passtime. 

Yesterday, London was celebrating the advent of the Olympic Games to their city and now this.  A jarring contrast.
