A.P. may have gotten this wrong yesterday. >From the Israeli newspaper Haaretz this morning: PM calls Netanyahu after explosion under his London hotel By Moti Bassok Shortly after the first explosion in London yesterday morning, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was scheduled to give a speech in the British capital, to inquire about his well-being and that of his entourage. Netanyahu arrived in London on Wednesday night and was due to give a lecture yesterday morning to hundreds of businessmen about investments in Israel. Shortly before he was supposed to leave for the lecture, Netanyahu was informed by British security officials that a blast had occurred at Liverpool Street tube station, just under the hotel at which he is staying. The lecture was canceled and Netanyahu was asked to remain in his hotel. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/597650.html Could be a cover story, of course, but it seems plausible that in the initial confusion, the timeline inadvertently got shifted to say the warning was delivered just prior to the attacks, rather than immediately after the first attack, which was at Liverpool Station under Netanyahu's hotel. (The London tubes are *deep* underground; it's conceivable that the Liverpool bombing wasn't even noticeable in the hotel itself.)
