London Bombings
10 July, 2005
A series of bomb attacks on London's transport network has killed more than 50 people and injured hundreds of others.
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has returned to London from the G8 summit, has described the attack as "barbaric". UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said it was "reasonably clear" there had been a series of terrorist attacks. He said it was "particularly barbaric" that it was timed to coincide with the G8 summit.
An Islamist website has posted a statement - purportedly from al-Qaeda -claiming it was behind the attacks.
London's police chief Sir Ian Blair said there had been "many casualties" but it was too early to put a figure to those killed or injured.
Describing the bomb blasts in London as an "open act of terrorism", Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf has said the terror attacks would have an adverse impact on Muslims all over the world. "London blasts are an open act of terrorism and will have deep impact particularly on Muslims all over the world"
