Increased police coverage of subways, buses and transit stations was ordered throughout the city. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly was meeting with police officials and executed other security plans, a law enforcement source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press. "We cannot live in fear. The greatest way to deter terrorism is to continue with our way of life," Gov. George Pataki said on WNYW-Fox 5 News. "Let the police deal with security and be alert. Report any suspicions but continue to enjoy the greatest society the world ever created." An executive order signed by Pataki allows Connecticut and New Jersey law enforcers to ride on New York mass transit, including Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North and PATH trains, said Pataki spokesman Dave Catalfano.

A previously unknown group calling itself "Secret Organisation al Qaeda in Europe" said it carried out the attacks as revenge for British "military massacres" in Iraq and Afghanistan. Two London hospitals have reported a total of 185 wounded after a series of blasts hit locations across the city on buses and Tube stations. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said there was evidence of explosives at at least two of the six sites. Scotland Yard has denied reports they were warned of an attack by Israel minutes before the blasts. Two people have been confirmed dead and at least 90 people injured in the explosion at Aldgate Station. Prime Minister Tony Blair, issued a joint statement from all the leaders at the G8 summit. "This is not an attack on one nation - it's an attack on all nations and civilised people everywhere," he said. "It's important however that those engaged in terrorism realise that our determination to defend our values and way of life is greater than their determination to cause death and destruction to innocent people." Witness, Angie, saw the bus explode in Russell Square. She said: "There were a whole lot of people around the bus. Next thing I was on the floor and there were a lot of people on me. "I thought I was going to be crushed. The bus was ripped out at the back. It must have been a bomb." The entire Tube network has been shut down and police have confirmed blasts at four sites: Russell Square and King's Cross Underground; Moorgate, Aldgate, and Liverpool Street Underground; Edgware Road Underground; and Tavistock Square where there has been a confirmed explosion on a bus. One witness said the packed underground train he was on was 200 metres from King's Cross when there was a huge flash. The train stopped and people were using umbrellas to smash windows of the trains. Passengers were led out of the train by underground staff. He added people were milling around King's Cross covered in soot. _________________________ Ad astra per aspera

A U.S. law enforcement official said at least 40 people were killed and London hospitals reported more than 300 injured The U.S. official spoke on condition of anonymity because British officials have yet to make public the death toll. U.S. authorities learned of the number from their British counterparts, according to the official. Blair said the "terrorist attacks" were clearly designed to coincide with the opening of the G-8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland. They also came a day after London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics. (Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ... _________________________ Ad astra per aspera
