LONDON TERROR ATTACK ,
07.07.2005
A passenger on the London Underground reads a newspaper, July 8, 2005, a day after four explosionsbrought London's public transport system to a halt. Police scrambled through dangerous rail tunnels deep underground on Friday to hunt for clues and retrieve bodies after suspected al Qaeda bombers killed more than 50 people in rush-hour blasts.



A Kosovo Albanian child lights a candle in Kosovo's capital Pristina on Friday, July 8, 2005 in a show of solidarity with the people of London following Thursday's explosions in the underground trains and a double-decker bus. More than 50 people died in four terrorist bombings in London, but emergency workers have not been able to reach some of the dead deep underground in a subway car because of fears the tunnel could collapse, the city's police chief said Friday

World Leaders Unite Against Attacks

Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin said: "The London bombings are a unspeakable attack on the innocent and on a way of life."

Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said:
"I cannot contain my strong indignation at these terrorist attacks which must never be tolerated."

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said: "Today, the world stands shoulder to shoulder with the British people, who with others around the world had mobilised so powerfully against poverty and climate change ahead of the Group of Eight summit, and who, I am sure, will confront this ordeal with the same spirit, courage and determination."

President Bush, at the G8 summit in Gleneages, said he was "impressed" with the resolve of all the leaders to fight terrorism.

Eileen Zhang said: "Terrorists are a bunch of morons, they'll die in the painfullest way."

Tony Blair's statement on London explosions:

It is particularly barbaric that this has happened on a day when people are meeting to try to help the problems of poverty in Africa, and the long term problems of climate change and the environment. Just as it is reasonably clear that this is a terrorist attack, or a series of terrorist attacks, it is also reasonably clear that it is designed and aimed to coincide with the opening of the G8. There will be time to talk later about this.

It is important however that those engaged in terrorism realise that our
determination to defend our values and our way of life is greater than their
determination to cause death and destruction to innocent people in a desire to
impose extremism on the world. Whatever they do, it is our determination that
they will never succeed in destroying what we hold dear in this country and in
other civilised nations throughout the world.
