    G8, more likely. At least 20 dead, says the BBC.

    That hasn't been confirmed as yet.

    Swindon and Brighton Train stations have now been evacuated because of a "security incident"

    i wonder if they'll evacuate all the big-wigs?

    I know that it is CNN, and their newsworthyness is sketchy at best, but they have reports that the IRA was involved. Again, I do not believe a word of this due to the source, but just wanted to pass it along.

    I would be very surprised if they had anything to do with it.

    Arab sources say it is almost certainly Al-qaeda. It seems too slick and organised to be anyone else

    Looks like the world has a new reason to start a war somewhere else in the middle east.

    The BBC has targetted the Queda as prime suspects "according to Arab sources who monitor them".
