London Terrorist Attack

Information here.

Posting may be light this morning, as I'm trying to reach people there to make sure they're okay. The mobile system is down; I'm having trouble connecting to landlines, too.

Waiting on emails. Hoping.

UPDATE: The Guardian is blogging it here.

UPDATE 2: Flickr slideshow here.

UPDATE 3: Text of The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe's claim of responsibility here.

UPDATE 4: Three hour panic attack ebbing. My Londoner Andy is alive and well and grumpy as ever. Waiting to hear from a few more people, but none who take any of those lines regularly (unlike Andy, who does).

UPDATE 5: Andy tells me: "I guess the BBC has the most up to date information, although the US media is claiming forty or forty five dead. They're not saying that here as far as I know."

UPDATE 6: Andy says thirty-three now confirmed dead, according to the news reports he's watching.
