Multiple Explosions Rock Subways, Buses, Transportation Systems

*Numerous Casualities in this well planned, highly co-ordinated attacks

*Attacks "Against Infidel Crusaders for Afghanistan, Iraq involvement"

*Recent statement by Ayman al-Zarqawi "warned" of attacks

*Madrid "Redux"

*Major U.S. Cities on heightened alert

7 July 2005: At 8:49 AM London time, a series of near-simultaneous explosions ripped through the London transit system, striking both street-level buses and underground subways and subway stations.

The first blast took place shortly before 9 am at Aldgate; additional blasts followed in rapid succession.

There are almost certainly multiple casualties; until first responders can enter the subway tubes where people are trapped, accurate estimates of the number killed and injured are not available.

There were harbingers of this attack on the jihadi boards in recent days. As readers of the HQ INTEL ALERT will recall from our special alert last week, the new Iranian president had promised as part of his campaign to bring the bloodshed of Iraq to western cities.

Based on celebratory postings on the Arabic language message boards frequented by Al Qaeda and its supporters, a high level of caution is urged for the US and other coalition partners, especially Australia.

Claim of Responsibility
The Islamic Terrorist Organization “Secret Organization Group of Al Qaeda of Jihad Organization in Europe” claims responsibility for the multiple explosions that rocked London during rush hour early this morning. According to their statement, "Britain is burning with fear," and "The heroic mujahidin have carried out a blessed raid in London.

"Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters."
