WHAT'S GOING ON? Anxious Londoners boycotted the Tube trains and buses for fear that these suicide bombers might strike again. Indeed they did..."London Strike: 2" How can Londoners live in peace? This time, it was failed attempt by suicide bombers. A few of the commuters had close encounters with them, without realising who they were, until they saw the huge bags that they were carrying and the many wires exposed. On Thursday, London police shot a man 5 times and killed him at an underground station. The deceased was a suspect. (Read: Suspect) It's a new guideline that police are allowed to shoot-to-kill. Prior to this, they were only allowed to shoot a suspect to disable him only. This certainly induced more fear in the Muslim community. So are they just gonna shoot and kill any suspicious individuals whom they might think are suicide bombers/terrorists? And sad to say, the prime suspects are Asians and Muslims. Cant blame them totally cos historically, it seems to be from these groups. But then again, a bit racist isnt it?I hope the acts of these extremists wont endanger the lives of other innocent Muslims. I hope that there wont be prejudice and unfair generalisation. Insya'Allah...Amin. And now, the latest news...50 people are killed in the Red Sea resort bombing spree, more specifically at the Sharm el-Sheikh resort. 150 are wounded. There were 7 bombings and 4 are suicide attacks. It all happened simultaneously at 1am. For one of the bombings, the car bomber rammed his car through the Ghazala Garden hotel entrance.
