Blair says he suspects terrorists are responsible
(Gee, ya think?)
Near simultaneous explosions have rocked London, killing several people and injuring dozens in what UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said was an apparent terror attack coinciding with a meeting of G8 leaders in Scotland.
A series of at least six explosions brought the London transit system to a halt early Thursday, killing at least two people, police said.

No speculation yet on whodunit, but those who did this - are not ‘insurgents’ or ‘rebels’ or ‘militants’ - they are terrorists.
