London Tube Maps Attacks

Globalsecurity.org displays maps from satelite imagery detailing the sites of the four bomb blasts that ripped through London.

The BBC coverage on-line does a great job of detailing the geographic locations and areas hit and the routes taken by the bombers from Kings Cross.

The stated mission of GlobalSecurity.org is to focus on:

"...innovative approaches to the emerging security challenges of the new millennium. The organization seeks to reduce reliance on nuclear weapons and the risk of their use -- both by existing nuclear weapons states and those states seeking to acquire such capabilities. GlobalSecurity.org aims to shift American conventional military forces towards new capabilities aligned with the post-Cold War security environment, and to reduce the worldwide incidence of deadly conflict. The organization is working to improve the capabilities of the American intelligence community to respond to new and emerging threats, reducing the need to resort to the use of force, while enhancing the effectiveness of military forces when needed. GlobalSecurity.org also supports new initiatives utilizing space technology to enhance international peace and security."
