London blast, the aftermath

The “incidents” reported earlier has been confirmed to be another incident of attacks on 3 subway stations and a double-decker, a scene hauntingly similar to deadly explosions set off by four suicide bombers exactly two weeks before.

Although there were no major injuries reported in this incident, this attack could result in a much more severe damage in long term. Just imagine that despite tighter security control after the first blast on the 7th of July, attackers could still find their way to replay the attacks at not only 1 but 4 places. Who would feel safe anymore?

And would the joe public still put their trusts on the politicians who claim that the days after tomorrow would be a better world?
