The Asia Times carries a report on this morning’s attacks in London by security consultant Ronan Thomas who is in the vicinity of the blast in Tavistock Place.
Londoners will take this attack in their stride. There has been no panic. After all, London has a long memory, having suffered disasters of all kinds, both man-made and natural. From the Roman occupation to the present day, armed destruction, plague, fire, water, chemical poisoning, aerial bombing and terrorist attacks have all made their mark on the city. The threat to life and fear of disaster, as shown today, are nothing new. (Asia Times Online)
