BBC reported bodies are still trapped in the commuter train wreckage in the tunnels. Above ground, people from London have started to put up posters of friends and family members, who have gone missing from the moment the bombs went off yesterday morning.


(AFP/Adrian Dennis)

July 8, 2005 -- A friend of a suspected victim is comforted near Tavistock Square, where a terrorist bomb destroyed a bus in London. For the loved ones of those missing and as-yet still accounted for the agony was just beginning.

An account of an employee, a 19 year old French boy who went missing. He normally reported for work between 9 - 9:30 am, and traveled on the subway lines which were attacked. Calls to his mobile phone go unanswered as it changes to voice mail and since the attack, have filled its memory. The parents from France will come over to learn what has happened to their son.

Desperate Londoners hunted on Friday for missing relatives

Distraught relatives searched for missing loved-ones around hospitals, many handing out leaflets appealing for information.

"It is killing us," said Kim Beer, searching for her hair stylist son Phil, 22, who might have been on a bombed train. "He always kisses me and cuddles me and tells me he loves me every time he goes out of the door -- which is what he did yesterday and I haven't seen or heard from him since."

how awful it must be for the families whose loved ones are missing.

The politicians who use terrorist attacks, and therefore the death of innocent people, to further their political agenda, are truly without conscience.

(Yes, George W., I'm talking about you.)
