London targeted again

Four "incidents" in London today - exactly two weeks since the last attack that claimed 57 lives. The London public transport system targeted again; three underground trains and one bus.

Fortunately, no major casualties have been reported. It seems that four bombs were detonated but the explosives failed to go off. While this is a huge relief it seems very strange that all four devices failed to detonate successfully. But I'd rather have "curious" than more deaths.

It is most worrying that a second incident has happened in the same place so soon after the first. I sensed a feeling from some people that London had "had its turn" as a terrorist target. There were no follow up attacks in New York or Madrid so today's encore, although causing little damage and claiming no lives, is deeply unsettling.
