News from London

I read the newspapers this morning and was informed that there was a latest round of bombs, occuring on 21 July 05 lunchtime, over in London. The incident has caused chaos but killed no one.

I was browsing through the online sources for more information, and I found one article from Independent Online Edition: http://comment.independent.co.uk/commentators/article300702.ece

Here's an excerpt from the article titled The urge for copycat attacks is hardwired into us:

There is evidence that terrorism is a copycat phenomenon. In the weeks following a terrorist attack there is a greater likelihood that there will be further terrorist incidents in that area.

Here's another article that gives updates about what has been happening in London: London alerts: At-a-glance

For now, I just hope that I would be safe and sound when I am there in London. Wish me safety.

Anyway, I will still travel to London anyway. It is hard to give the British Museum a miss given the fact that I will be in the United Kingdoms in about less than two weeks time. The travel management company has confirmed my bookings for a hotel room at Russell Hotel. I hope I would find the hotel room to be satisfactory.

Meantime, I hope Emrah, one of my blog friends, is safe.
