40 reported dead in London blasts
Developing story, via MSNBC:
At least 40 people were killed in the explosions that ripped through three London subway trains and a bus on Thursday, according to a U.S. law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because British officials have yet to make public the death toll.
The near simultaneous explosions caused at least 300 injuries in what Prime Minister Tony Blair said was a "barbaric" terrorist attack.
U.S. authorities learned of the fatalities from their British counterparts, according to the official.
The explosions came a day after London was awarded the 2012 Olympics and as the Group of Eight summit was getting under way in Scotland.
