LONDON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - British police sealed off an area around Kings Cross station in central London on Tuesday and said there was a bus in the area with smoke coming out of it.

"I don't think we should jump to any conclusions," a police spokesman said, adding that a van from the bomb disposal unit was on its way to the scene as a precaution.

4. Oh, god this is going to happen everyday now isn't it?

Not actual bombs, but scares/freakouts/etc.

I pray it isn't another bomb, that it's just a false alarm.

9. You've identified the most inane rationale for preemptively attacking

another country that gwb offered up.

And, you're right, "over there" apparently includes London now. MKJ
