A horrible scene

London is under attack.

At least two people are reported dead this morning after a series of explosions blew up a bus and shut down the city's subway system. The culprit is still unclear, but the blasts' coordination and their occurrence during rush hour point to terrorism. Further evidence is that the attacks came during the ongoing G8 summit in Scotland and just one day after London was named to host the 2012 Summer Olympics. On the home front, Washington, D.C., officials have stepped up their subway security today in response.

My best wishes and condolences go to the British. May they find and severely punish whoever did this.
