UK today

The death toll is at 37 now, according to the BBC.

A website claims (a) to represent a group of terrorists that (b) are affliated with al-Qaeda and (c) to have caused the blasts. The related BBC article includes the text of their statement.

The Archbishop of Canterbury was at an interfaith gathering today.
“As it happens I have spent this morning with Muslim colleagues and friends in West Yorkshire; and we were all as one in our condemnation of this evil and in our shared sense of care and compassion for those affected in whatever way.

“Such solidarity and common purpose is vital for us all at this time of pain and sorrow and anger.

“We in the faith communities will have to continue to stand and work together for the well being of our nation and for our shared understanding of the life that God calls us to. I hope that we shall all keep that vision alive at this deeply sad and testing time.”
- from his official statement.
