By KATIE ROOK, Thursday, July 7, 2005 Updated at 11:34 AM EDT, a Globe and Mail Update: “From the 18th floor of Canary Wharf in London, Canadian Brendan Spinks could see a “massive rush of policemen” outside the building Thursday after the city was rocked by terrorist attacks. The Internet in his office had just gone done down when Mr. Spinks, an investment banker at HSBC, saw a flurry of police cars and yellow-vested men outside. Reports of attacks carried out by suicide bombers were rife, and in one unconfirmed incident police shot a suicide bomber outside the 42-floor banking tower. “It was just a matter of time. It’s absolutely shocking and terrifying and terrible,” he said.” - end of Ms. Rook’s report.

In the US, consumer advocates at Household - HSBC Watch were also shocked to hear the news. “While we may be adversaries on a global scale, human nature demands that one should set differences aside at times like this. We hope everyone returns safely home to their families and loved ones” said Household - HSBC Watch.
