A nation must think before it acts.
Senior Fellow Carol Rollie Flynn Quoted by The Cipher Review on London Attack
A bomb exploded on a London subway train Friday morning injuring at least 29 people, most of them suffering flash burns from the blast, none life-threatening.
London authorities are calling the bombing at Parson Green Tube station a terrorist attack, the latest in a wave to hit the United Kingdom so far this year. The culprit remained at large as U.K. leaders condemned the bombers. Hours after the attack, ISIS reportedly claimed responsibility.
“What we’ve seen today is an attempt by evil and cowardly terrorists to kill, to injure and to disrupt our way of life,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan said Friday, according to Reuters. “What we’ve also seen today is heroic efforts by Transport for London Staff, from Londoners, from paramedics, from the fire service, from the police service showing us at our very best.”
