London Bomb Blast Injures Australians

Seven Aussies injured, one critical

One Australian is in a critical condition and six others are in hospital in London after they were caught up in the terrorist blasts that rocked the British capital on Thursday. ( 7th July 2005 )

Consular staff have spoken to some of the Australians in hospital but could not give details of their injuries or identities.

Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Richard Alston said the number of Australians on the injury list could rise.

“I don’t think anyone regards the official figures to date as final and I think the history of these sort of episodes is that the numbers can only go one way,” he said.

The Australian High Commission in London has not received any reports of Australian fatalities among the 37 people confirmed killed in the four blasts on London’s transport system.

In some cases family members of the injured Australians are yet to be notified so the High Commission cannot release their names.

Police have confirmed 37 people were killed in the four explosions that hit three underground trains and a bus during the morning rush hour in central London.

But that figure is expected to rise with many of the 700 injured in critical condition.

Australian consular staff are at the The Royal London and St Mary’s hospitals and are liaising with emergency services.

“We took the decision early this morning to send some of our people down to the hospitals to try and ascertain who was there and if any of them were Australian,” Alston said.

“Given that there are something like 300,000 Australians in the UK and probably more than 100,000 in London at any one time we thought there was some probability.

“We are doing everything we can to assist Australians who have been involved.”

The co-ordinated blasts hit underground trains in central London at Aldgate, Kings Cross and Edgware Road between 8.51am (London time) and 9.09am and a fourth ripped apart a double decker bus in Tavistock Square at 9.47am.

Mr Alston said it was unsure in which incidents the Australians were caught.

“The Australian government is very disturbed by these events, they have the hallmarks of a terrorist attack, the loss of life is likely to be significant,” Alston said.

“In those circumstances we are 100 per cent behind the British government in its determination to resist.”

Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has issued a revised travel advisory for London, warning Australians to avoid the affected areas and not to travel unnecessarily around the city.
