Silence for London Bombing Victims

I assume that all of you have already heard about the terrorist Bombing in London this past Thursday. At the end of this post are some of the best sites on the web to research the happenings. Three bombs rocked the London Underground, and a fourth destroyed a city bus in the city's center. At least 33 people were confirmed dead and 45 with critical injuries. More than 700 are believed to have been affected with minor injuries. I'm sure after experiencing an attack on their own soil, many European nations will realize the importance of bringing an end to the terrorism which appears to still be fighting strong.

Today, people all over the European union paused for two minutes at the strike of noon to remember those who had died in the attacks. The four suspected suicide bombers, Shahzad Tanweer, Hasib Hussain, Mohammed Sidique Khan, and Lindsey Germaine, were all British Nationals.

Prime Minister, Tony Blair, said this in his speech at the G8 summit conference:

"It's important, however, that those engaged in terrorism realize 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 civilized nations throughout the world."
