Service is slowly returning to normal after the TTC shut down parts of the Yonge St. and Bloor St. subway lines because of what was described as a “direct threat” against the system.
The threat came about 10 a.m., and police immediately cleared the Yonge/Bloor and Sherbourne stations as a precaution.
Police were searching for any knapsacks that had been left and sniffer dogs were brought in.
The TTC said every station in the subway system would be searched.

I was reading last night trying to get more info on this.....and Three men had him pinned face and arms down with ample time to frisk him, and still plugged 7 slugs in his skull and one in his shoulder, without ever asking him a single question......

Once Again London has been victim of Terrorist or at Least Terror..Despite the High security and all the security measures taken in London Terrorist still able to put on its knees the system....
Attacks (or attempts) were carried at "Shepherd's Bush" obviously means GEORGE BUSH and "Oval Street" is code for the Oval Office and "Warren Street" is for the Warren Commission which declared Oswald the shooter ????? is that a hidden message or Im just paranoic ? I don't think so let me tell you why....I lived 4 years there and the targets they picked dont make sense because the Oval station isn't busy on a thursday, warren St doesnt make sense either, heck all the targets dont make sense.
This other ("attack") probable escenario would make the powers that be more cautious of pursuing its agenda of deception and control, since they know they really can be held hostage by terrorists of unknown origin, they may be Right extremists, left extremists, Musslims, Orthdox "born again" christians, anti gloalists, zapatists and who knows who else, the real problem with this theory is that if its trye then the REAL pandora BOX has been oppened.
I don't really buy all the media stuff they are showing Let me tell you why ...It would take an extremely incompetent bomb maker to have all four bombs fail, and from all of the hype about AQ's proficiency with such devices it is unlikely that is the case, unless of course it is now another faction which should be even more disturbing.
There are two reasons I can think of behind today's events: To counter London's tribute to the dead of the 7th's bombings. To send the message that despite all of the security measures, they can still strike.
Definitely all this is changing the world,the way we live, now in London they are checking bags and looking for suspects, New York, Boston are doing the same, what else Canada needs to Implement Security ?
I'm 99.9% sure that all this new security measures are going to create and or Increase racial profiling...sad but true.
It's very sad when innocent people are attacked for political purposes, that was a cowardly act of terrorism. But, on the other hand, people have died in the middles east perhaps by the thousands and they don't make news. Most people in eather country worry about work and daily chores, not about politics, but they are the ones that usually pay for their leaders political ideas.
We as humans forget that what goes around comes around, If we gave love and better solutions, love would be returned to us.

So My theory is that Canada has Terrorist Groups..YES.....why Canada it's a Paradise for Terrorist...its a Nice and Sharp Trampolin to jump........ And personally I don't think they would attack Canada.....
Canada is a safe haven not only for Terrorist Groups but for any Organized Crime Organizations.
Canada needs to toughen its legislation in many different areas.
Something very "funny" after any terrorist attack Al-Qaida statements come first to Arabic press not from BBC and Reuters.
This time the statement first appear in mainstream press and was subsequently picked up by Arab press, which breaks rank with ever other statement Al-Qaida has ever issued officially.This fact alone should make the validity of this statement suspect. Secondly, the Arabic grammar used in the so-called claim of responsibility is incorrect. Al-Qaida statements have a consistency in the Arabic language that is written in their Mother tongue.
Maybe most importantly, is the incomplete and incorrect ayahs from the Quran used in this alleged statement. While grammar could for arguments sake be overlook, incomplete and incorrect versus from the Quran is something the brothers of Tawheed or Holy Warriors who live and die by the word of Allah know intimately. In the ayahs quoted, they simply would not make these mistakes

Yeah, but do you really think that bin laden cares about that. You can never be to sure about that. It's clear to me that he wants to go after any country that has helpped the usa in any way no matter how big or small it was. This guy clearly has a sick mind and doesn't give a rats a$$ about anybody but himself.

I think that it would be in bin laden's interest not to attack canada because there are cells operating here and an attack here would cause our government to crack down on extremists, step up surveillance and possibly discover/thwart agents meant to strike at the US (the main target obviously)
but... to these extremists, the world is black or white, and we're zionist infidels, just like everyone else in the west.

OH MY GOD! SORRY GUYS IM NOT ONE FOR THE NEWS IM NOT ONE FOR TV ACTUALLY
BUT WOW AFTER READING THIS! NOT SURPRISED THAT THE BRITISH GOT ATTACKED BUT WHAT IS SAD ARE THE LIVES OF INNOCENT PPL LOST OR PUT AT RISK BECAUSE SOME BIG D!CK THINKS HES MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE.
Police in London say it's too early to tell how many people were killed after a series of near-simultaneous explosions in the city's public transit system during Thursday morning's rush hour. << -- CBC
SORRY FOR MY IGNORANCE BUT KE PASO?? WERE CAN I READ ON THIS
Report on CP24.com
Awful Attack
Less than 24 hours after Londoners were celebrating their winning 2012 Olympic bid, there was mayhem in the streets as half a dozen explosions rocked the city in an apparent terrorist attack.
As many as six explosions struck the subway and ripped open a packed double-decker bus during the Thursday morning rush hour, killing at least twelve people and injuring close to 200.
London was locked down after early reports that an electrical problem was to blame were dismissed, and it became obvious terrorists were responsible.
The subway system was shut down as authorities worked to save people still trapped in the wreckage of four reported explosions in the tube.
Also railway lines in and out of the city were closed.
A shaken Prime Minister Tony Blair, speaking from Gleneagles, Scotland where he’s hosting the G8 summit, called the attacks ‘barbaric.’
He said it was obvious the attacks were meant to coincide with the G8 meeting, which has already been the target of both violent and non-violent protests in Scotland.
Blair planned to travel to London Thursday to get an update on the situation in person, but said the rest of the world leaders would continue in his absence.
"Whatever they do, it is our determination that they will never succeed in destroying what we hold dear in this country and in other civilized nations throughout the world," Blair said.
The British P.M. said he intended to return to the G8 conference later Thursday.
A witness to the bus explosion at Russell Square in central London said the entire top deck of the vehicle had been destroyed, and emergency workers rushed to attend to the dozens of seriously injured citizens.
Aside from the bus explosion, officers reported incidents at the Aldgate station near the Liverpool Street railway terminal, Edgware Road and King's Cross in north London, and Old Street in the financial district.
Bradley Anderson, a subway passenger, told the media "there was some kind of explosion or something" as his train reached the Edgware Road station.
"Everything went black and we collided into some kind of oncoming train," Anderson said.
Simon Corvett, 26, who was on an eastbound train from Edgware Road station, said: "All of sudden there was this massive huge bang."
The city's cellphone network was overloaded afterward, limiting communication.
London police chief Sir Ian Blair wouldn’t speculate on who was responsible for what looked to be a coordinated attack, but a group calling themselves Al Qaeda in Europe have reportedly claimed responsibility on a web site popular with Islamic militants.
According to a senior Israeli official, Scotland Yard told Israel minutes before the explosions that it had received possible terror warnings.
Meanwhile, the explosions sent the European stock market into a tailspin, with several major indexes down by as much as three per cent.
Other G8 nations, including France and Canada, raised security levels following the attacks.

in some ways this couldn't come at a better time for blair, he should be able to shore up public opinion at home against terrorism and unite his people if he plays his cards right.
Yes they are familiar to Bombs thanks to the IRA...I'm very surprised it happened in the "Tube" because The underground is the soft underbelly of London and policeing it 24/7 is a near impossibility they have Heavy security in there, and cameras EVERYWHERE...London is actually known for how many surveillance cameras are operating downtown. I have already heard a government official on air acting so proud of all of the surveillance. Its just part of the infrastructure for the control grid....

Terrorism was going to happen in Britain at some point and it’s not directly linked to the support the UK has given America (France, lest we not forget, has its own problems with Algerian extremists). Whilst the attacks in London today are to be condemned without qualification, they should not have the “shock” value that the terrorists may think they would have.
This will be of no comfort to the dead and injured but if, some 4 years after 9/11, Madrid and London is the very worst AQ can do then it’s a small relief. Attacks with smaller groups of suicide bombers than walk the street of Baghdad every day, armed with nothing but conventional explosive, is hardly the calling-card of an ever-expanding threat to Western civilisation. It’s very “old school” extremist and not the stuff of anything like a “dirty bomb” scenario.
London will clean up, the dead will mourn and life for us will continue. Apart from cold-blooded murder those who use the AQ franchise will have achieved zero. The British public ignore bombs – they have been too regular a part of their lives for too long to change public opinion one iota.
I just hope the politicians use this attack as an excuse for even more cock-ups and conspiracy in this so-called “war on terror”. I personally favour the closing of British borders to asylum seekers of all types, legitimate or otherwise, but to use this attack (which time will probably find was committed by folk the British state had given shelter to) to progress that agenda would be wrong.
Terrorist’s acts are not to be used as political footballs and good policy is never made without reflection after such events. Emotion is the enemy of logic and extremists, both from outside and inside our political establishments, are the enemy of us all.
Its not hard to connect the dots and read the message London Get to host the Olympic Games + G8 ....wow.... very clear the message it's like ...don't forget us....we still alive.....
