Instanbul gets bombed

There has been several massive explosions in Istanbul this morning in the most crowded districts. The British Embassy has been targeted. Looks like a terrorist attack and there is only one person that we have to thank for it - George W Bush. Countries like Turkey are a lot easier to target than the USA and are paying the price of Bush's 'freedom'.

Update!

Several members of staff from HSBC in Turkey have been killed. We don't know the exact figures yet and security has been heavily tightened where I work in Canary Wharf.
