Dublin Wins Another Major International Conference The International Statistical Institute (ISI) will be holding its biannual session at Dublin’s new centre in August, 2011.	The Prime Minister of Britain, the Rt Hon Tony Blair, has confirmed that a number of explosions in Central London this morning are a terrorist attack and there are a number of fatalities. It is not confirmed who is responsible. The current police advice is, because of major transport disruption, people should not travel into Central London. The explosions took place around 8.00am in Edgware Road, Kings Cross, Liverpool Street, Russell Square, Aldgate East and Moorgate underground stations and on a bus in Tavistock Square. Statement from VisitBritain The police have not indicated who has caused these explosions so VisitBritain will therefore not speculate at this stage what impact, if any, there could be on the visitor economy. Our main concern is for the people who have been affected by this incident and we will monitor the situation and update our overseas offices as required. At this stage there is no reason for people to cancel their trip to Britain or London. However, they should be aware that there is major transport disruption in Central London. More information can be found at www.transportforlondon.gov.uk or www.met.police.uk/news.
