da bomb

More terrorist attacks yesterday, this time in London, have killed more than 50 people and injured more than 700.
Check this BBC report for details.
I admit I'm a little late on this one. Blame vacation. There is no CNN at the beach.
While the attacks caused a hiccup in London's public transportation system, it's more disturbing to read they upset the British economy, and to a much lesser extent, the greater European and Asian economies.
In the U.S., concerns for mass transit security are even bigger, and the London attacks will certainly give the Bush administration leverage to justify its war in Iraq and on terror.
For now, though, it appears Pres. Bush is firmly standing at the side of British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
