"Lord Coe is flying back to London immediately after the International Olympic Committee named the capital as host city for the 2012 Olympics.
Coe stayed in Singapore over night but he intends to go straight back to work next week.
"There's now real hard GRAFT ahead over the next seven years, and particularly the next six months," said Coe. "
:lol
Just one day after getting the Olympic nod, London gets attacked:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe...ube/index.html
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Near simultaneous explosions have rocked London, killing several people and injuring dozens in what UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said was an apparent terror attack coinciding with a meeting of G8 leaders in Scotland.
A series of at least six explosions caused mass panic and brought the London transit system to a halt early Thursday, killing at least two people, police said.
The explosions rocked the city's subway systems and up to three more hit buses in the city, all at the height of rush hour.
The blasts caused chaos and panic across the city, with dazed and bloodied survivors emerging from stations. The mobile phone network was overloaded, and many struggled to let others know that they were safe.
In the first report of casualties, City of London police told CNN there had been two fatalities at Aldgate east station. At least 90 people are reported to have been injured.
Blair said: "It is reasonably clear there have been a series of terrorist attacks in London." There have been casualties, he said "both people that have died and people seriously injured."
"It's particularly barbaric that this has happened" on a day that people are meeting to deal with world problems at the G8 in Scotland.
Home Secretary Charles Clarke, Britain's top law enforcement officer, said: "There have been a number of dreadful incidents across London today." He said there were "terrible injuries."
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Ian Blair said authorities found found indications of explosives at the scene of one of the blasts and that there are concerns it was a coordinated terror attack.
"We are concerned that this is a coordinated attack. We are aware that one of the sites does containly does contain indications of explosives," Sir Ian Blair told Sky News.
He urged Londoners not to panic and said it was too early to say what caused the blasts.
A White House spokesman said U.S. President George W. Bush was aware of the explosions and had been in briefings with Blair all morning.
Claire Burroughs, spokeswoman for St Mary's Hospital in central London, told CNN the hospital was on "major incident alert."
Four patients were critically injured, eight were seriously injured and 14 others were being treated for minor injuries, she said.
"The types of injuries we are seeing include limb damage, burns, cuts, breaks, head injuries and chest problems due to smoke inhalation," Burroughs said.
The Tube blasts at the height of the rush hour on Thursday were initially blamed on a power surge.
But amid the chaos eyewitnesses reported that a packed double decker bus in the Russell Square area had been severely damaged in a blast.
There were media reports that a second bus had been damaged in Tavistock Square. Police told CNN they could not confirm that report.
Describing the Russell Square blast, eyewitness Belinda Seabrook told the UK Press Association she saw an explosion rip through the bus as it approached the Square.
"I was on the bus in front and heard an incredible bang, I turned round and half the double decker bus was in the air," she said.
One Tube passenger told CNN passengers had been packed in smoke-filled carriages "just waiting to die."
One passenger, with blood streaming down the left side of his face from a wound on his temple, said he didn't "want to live through it again."
"I was in the front carriage and people were severely injured there," he said, adding that his train had been in the tunnel between Kings Cross and Russell Square.
"I heard, but I don't know, that people were hurt worse further back. Some people were very calm, others very panicky."
"There was a very loud bang, the lights went out, the carriage filled with smoke," he said. "We were all thrown forward."
Travellers emerged from underground tunnels covered in blood and soot. Scotland Yard declared the emergency a "major incident."
Emergency services were called to London's Liverpool Street Station after reports of an explosion shortly before 9 a.m.
A short while later, London Underground said there had been "another incident at Edgware Road" station in north west London.
sorry no cry for me
noone cry for the bagdadies so why cry for anglo saxons
I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but people are people. And massive death is never good. I hope they can get back on their feet. This may have not been a '9-11", but a terrorist attack is a terrorist attack. NOT good.Quote:

It won't be 'good' nor logical when it's your home city, or your own neighborhood, or your own family being killed by terror. There's no 'nationality' about it. I suppose it was 'good' or 'logical' that 4000 people died in the World Trade Center?
These are things that people have to stick together with. I think the French Government is cowardice, but if and when a terrorist action happens in France, I will not think that this is 'good' or 'logical'. I will feel for the people and pray for them the same way as I am now, and how I did on September 11th. It's a shame that nationality comes before humanity.
Amen, man.Quote:
