The Bloody Seventh

From Der Spiegel

"Rejoice, community of Muslims," the letter states. "The heroic mujahedeens today conducted an attack in London," it continues. All of Great Britain is now shaken and shocked, "in the north, the south, west and east." "We've warned the British government and the British people time and again," the letter adds. "We've kept our promise and have carried out a blessed military operation."

“Heroic” & “Blessed Military operation”!? More like cowardly fools who think that bombing innocent civilians is somehow a military operation.

Mrs. Clancy and I both have our thoughts and prayers with our dearest Helen, whose blog is uncharacteristically silent today. She works in London several days a week and always takes the train (passing through Kings Cross, we believe). Hopefully, she’s merely stuck trying to get home from a city without any trains running. With any luck at all, she’s in a pub somewhere drinking away this most surreal of days.

Update: Helen is safe
