Wolf Blitzer Reports
Friday, July 8, 2005
From the Wolf Blitzer Reports staff:
The death toll in yesterday’s terror attacks in London has risen to more than 50, with a number of people unaccounted for and more than 700 wounded, British Authorities say. There are no signs that suicide bombers carried out the attacks or that timing devices were used, although authorities say the investigation is in its early stages. While officials try to track down the culprits, Londoners have been tentatively resuming their normal daily activities. We’ll have the latest from the UK capital.
U.S. intelligence officials say there are indications that the London bombings may be linked to events in Iraq. Was terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi able to extend his reach beyond the Middle East and strike Europe? We’ll have the details.
And we’re tracking another major story -- an “extremely dangerous” storm. Hurricane Dennis is bearing down on Cuba and is then expected to turn its sights on the U.S. Gulf Coast. It could be a killer Category 5 storm when it hits land. How extensive could the damage be? We’ll have the latest forecast.
