BREAKING: Bomb alert at Holborn station, London

when i was in nottingham city center uk, i saw a mass of people gathered in an area, they all appeared to be coming from the same place or building

Are you sure it wasn't students queueing for free drinks?

Seriously, I haven't heard anything either and I live pretty close to the city centre. I'll ask around, maybe someone was there. When was it? Today?

Why is ANY bomb threat now immediately linked to Al-Quaeda?

Britain has had its own brand of terrorism for years in the form of the IRA. However, they are usually after establishment targets (such as the Stock Exchange etc) rather than tube stations.

Britain has had its own version of an anti terrorist bill since the 60's, in fact, after 9/11, the Americans called in British anti terrorism experts to learn how to do it right.

So its true then?

We now have dissident IRA groups wanting to cause havoc here too.....

O'well........ the rest of this year and next year are gonna possibly be the worst time for us.... hopefully nothing will happen but with all this talk of new threats, it looks more and more likely that something will....

It just got a mention on ITV news with CCTV footage of the inside of a building. I just caught a glance before it went to the next story so didnt hear any details.

What's the sketch then?

I haven't heard anything about it today. Was it a hoax?

Dissident Republicans or Al Qaeda?

Generic Islamic extremists?

Not good, at least they caught it early and it can be dealt with properly.

Add Mossad...now ur list is complete.
