MP Davis Midridge has kidnapped - by a group known only as the Brotherhood of Mutants. In the wake of devastating attacks on King's Cross, John Rhee and the newly reformed X-Men team arrive in London and are pulled into a conflict beneath the city's streets...
Sneak Peek
Dateline 10 March, 2008. I'm Teresa Glaser and this is BBC Panorama.
With the reports of last week's dirty bomb attacks on King's Cross station in Camden, security across Greater London has been at an all-time maximum alert status.
The Home Office has been given express assurances by the Russian President that this latest act of violence was explicitly not the work of the FSB or any other Russian intelligence services.
Further, an audiotape message from a supposed faction leader of al Qaeda has similarly denied any involvement in the attack that has resulted in thirty seven dead, two hundred injured, and has left Parliament MP Davis Midridge missing and presumed dead.
The Prime Minister condemned the attack, vowing that this act of treachery and cowardice will not remain unanswered, and that the terrorists responsible will be pursued with unyielding vigour.
Already the United States and European Union have pledged their support to track down the terrorists. In an offering of condolances, the Russian President said that he had not yet heard if the Prime Minister would be requesting Russian assistance in the matter. The Premier of China extended his sympathies last week, and is planning on touring the blast site within the month.
The burning question that remains on the hearts and minds of all Londoners this evening is - who is behind this brazen assault, and what is their agenda?
