Oh thank you QOQ. I just wanted a factual running report so this is great. I hate being stuck at work and feeling so uniformed. My BF works in Tabernacle St and can only email me later today.

TwinSetAndPearls · 22/07/2005 14:34

police at an internet cafe on Harrow road now, area sectioned off but residents have not been evacuated.

dyzzidi · 22/07/2005 14:46

God it feels like it will never end!

dyzzidi · 22/07/2005 15:10

I have just read on skynews that the man who was shot this morning had been trailed from his home as a suspect for the Oval bombng and was not carrying explosives today. He obviously was treated as a major threat.

compo · 22/07/2005 15:11

dyzzidi · 22/07/2005 15:14

dyzzidi · 22/07/2005 15:19

Yes kidstrack it is apparently the man who bombed the OVal according to skynews.

TwinSetAndPearls · 22/07/2005 15:20
