當(dāng)?shù)貢r間7月7日早上8時15分，倫敦發(fā)生連環(huán)爆炸恐怖襲擊事件，多輛公交車被炸毀，地鐵停運(yùn)。警方在當(dāng)晚的發(fā)布會上確認(rèn)至少有37人死亡700人受傷，目前“基地組織”已宣布對此負(fù)責(zé)。外電報道如下：Terror
struck in the heart of London on Thursday as explosions ripped
through three subway trains and blasted the roof off a crowded red double-decker
bus. At least 37 people were killed and more than 700 wounded in
the deadliest attack on the city since the blitz in World War
II.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair blamed Islamic extremists and said
the bombings were designed to coincide with the opening in Scotland of a
G-8 summit of the world's most powerful leaders. Foreign Secretary Jack
Straw said the bombings - which came the day after London won the bid to
host the 2012 Olympics - have the "hallmarks of an al-Qaida-related
attack."
Double-decker表示“雙層公共汽車，雙層甲板船，雙層三明治”等，在上文中double-decker bus指“雙層巴士”。
據(jù)悉，倫敦爆炸慘案發(fā)生后，歐洲股市大跌，倫敦結(jié)算所停止交易。布萊爾緊急返回倫敦處理該事件，并發(fā)表電視講話強(qiáng)烈譴責(zé)恐怖襲擊。正在蘇格蘭參加峰會的八國集團(tuán)宣布，倫敦受到攻擊，也就是他們所有的國家受到攻擊，他們將與英國同仇敵愾。
