A series of bomb attacks on London's transport network has killed more than 30 people and injured about 700 others.

Three explosions on the Underground left 35 dead and two more died in a blast on a double-decker bus.

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair promised the "most intense police and security service action to make sure we bring those responsible to justice".

An Islamist website has posted a statement - purportedly from al-Qaeda - claiming it was behind the attacks.

Mr Blair, who has returned to London from the G8 summit, condemned the terrorists and paid tribute to the stoicism and resilience of the people of London.

"They are trying to use the slaughter of innocent people to cow us, to frighten us out of doing the things that we want to do," he said in a televised statement from Downing Street.

38 I just read. Britian is much more used to this, with the IRA only a few years ago, but this is still awful.

The people and the emergency services reacted brilliantly. Especially the Ambulances. They had to do surgery on the platform of Kings Cross station.
