The world,surely,has gone mad

Got up today and heard that there have been numerous blasts on the London underground system. Including right where I stay -next King's Cross and near Russell Square. There have been blasts on three buses. One of the buses has its last stop on my way to college.
London has finally been made a target.
A day after it won the Olympic bid.
Who is trying to make statement?
Why is the world not making sense to me anymore?

Aj's mom has gone in for her second surgery as I write this.
Things are still grim.I hope she makes it through this.Please pray for her and for all those who have been injured in the London blasts.
The world,surely,has gone mad...

Update (1145am): Heard a massive blast about 90 mins back . 15 mins later heard that another bus was ripped apart about 1km from where we stay. It is my first time hearing a blast.It is so damn scary...

Update (1208pm): Two people comfirmed dead. Tony Blair confirms it is a terrorist attack.

Update (1:04pm): See this picture- chilling...
Currently, there is a deafening silence around the central London area with an intermittent wailing of sirens...

Update(2:25pm): Number of those who have lost their lives has reached double figures but exact confirmation not given. The organization who carried out the attacks are related to Al-Qaeda. Check this out at Wikepedia.
