Al-Qaida is claiming responsibility

Al-Qaida in Europe claims responsibility for blasts.

Emergency Services were called to these Tube Stops:
Edgware Road
King's Cross
Liverpool Street
Russell Square
Aldgate East
Moorgate
Tavistock Square

The blasts seem to have occurred in the northern part of Zone 1, Russell Square is within walking distance to the British Museum but is still pretty far away from the museum, but very close to the University College of London. Here is a map of the London Underground.
