Londoners back to work; vigorous probe on, says Blair

People prepare to board buses during the rush hour in central London on Monday. The police urged Londoners to get back to work to show the suspected Al-Qaida bombers that they had not cowed the British Capital into submission.

London, July 11
Putting up a brave face, Londoners were back to business as usual with several using the Tube to go to work even as Prime Minister Tony Blair said police efforts to find the perpetrators of the serial blasts that killed 52 persons were “vigorous and intensive.”

Many commuters made their first trip to work on the London Underground since Thursday’s blasts, while several others rode bicycles and hired taxis to offices.

Most Tube services have now returned to normal although the section of the Piccadilly line affected by the King’s Cross explosion would remain closed.

In a statement in the House of Commons, Blair said he could not give details of the police investigation launched into the blasts. “I can say it is among the most vigorous and intensive this country has seen.” — PTI
