Profile of the London bombers

Profile of the London bombers. I hope their Pakistani origin does not create a backlash. But then, this is the UK. Not the US.

harish 15 Jul 2005 1:58 am: you can never say. places supposedly tolerant like new zealand had a few attacks on mosques. also i heard the discrimination on the pakis particularly is a long standing issue. am i wrong? the link incidentally doesnt click through to the page intended. its on the index page
S Anand 16 Jul 2005 8:05 am: Fixed the link. Thanks, Harish. And yes, I have heard about some incidents against Asians outside London. You are right.

London reaction

Fri, 08 Jul 2005 12:00:00 +0000

Londoners’ reaction to the bombing. Feels like a classic British reaction. That seems to be feeling around office too. More from IrishEyes.

Krishnan 7 Jul 2005 4:14 pm: Hi Anand…The six ways of reading a book for free link is not working. Can u pls reload the link
S Anand 7 Jul 2005 4:45 pm: Did I have a link like that? Where?
Ram 8 Jul 2005 2:15 am: Those who are using IE may get a false icon saying it as a broken link,but with Firefox it works fine
S Anand 8 Jul 2005 5:44 am: Guys, what link are you talking about!?
Anonymous Hero 8 Jul 2005 7:22 am: I am using Firefox but the link is not working Ram. Can you tell me how it worked for you?
S Anand 8 Jul 2005 8:47 am: If this is a hoax on me, it is the best I have seen so far!
Anonymous Hero 8 Jul 2005 10:12 am: From my side, yes… I saw the other two comments and thought to myself, “Mate, that looks like a nice way to pull a fast one on Anand’ :-)
S Anand 8 Jul 2005 10:59 am: Well, seems like a day of hoaxes. I got a mail from a colleague in Finance asking me not to reclaim VAT. I never even tried!
Ram 9 Jul 2005 3:44 pm: From where can we get Free e-books ? If anyone knows please post it here or mail me
Dhar 10 Jul 2005 1:58 am: Depends on what kind of e-books you are looking for. If you want novels, you could check out http://www.greylib.align.ru/
S Anand 10 Jul 2005 11:38 am: The torrent network has plenty. Try the BitLord client.
Dhar 11 Jul 2005 3:46 pm: And the sites: torrentspy.com and thepiratebay.org/. What I like the most about thepiratebay is their response to legal threats (http://thepiratebay.org/legal.php)
Anonymous 12 Jul 2005 9:41 am: guess the link that was mentioned corresponds to the june 17th entry at http://www.geocities.com/root_node/articles/London_2005.html and mirc is a good place for ebooks.
S Anand 12 Jul 2005 11:04 am: Oh, OK.

Resilience of London transport

Thu, 07 Jul 2005 12:00:00 +0000

The public transport reacted beautifully to the damage. I had to take Bus 259 from Finsbury Park to Tottenham Police Station. As I waited at the bus stop, I saw a 259 double decker pull in. Followed by another. And another. And another. Four double-decker buses following one after the other – and they ended up getting filled. Almost felt like a train, except without rails and a floor above.
