London Terrorist Attacks

People were seen running, people or one man, i don't know. Gun shots heard - whether t7hey were from undercover cops or the public?

Another eye witness said a man got on the tube, dropped a bag and ran, eye witness said they tried to stop him but he got away.

The tubes have had a variety of incidents. No reports of anyone hurt though. Nail bomb in one of the tube carriages so eyewitnesses say but everyone got out.

Number 26 bus on Hackney Road. Cordened off bus but the eyewitnesses said people were offit and that the bus is still intact but kept away in case theres something else on it that goes off.

3 lines are suspended. Its now been denied that all underground stations are closed.

So they knew about the bomb before it exploded and the tube incidents are just similier to what happened in Birmingham? I.e just a caution?

No, BBC website has a quote from a woman on a train who said there was a smell of smoke. This fits in with reports of an small explosion (perhaps a detonator) in a backpack which then started to have smoke comig out of it.

I think it was quite right of people to stay away from the terrorist. He could have had explosives trapped to him; letting him get away would be better than catching him and him blowing up everyone around.

Anyone know if there were bombs on the trains and if they were serious? Police aren't treating it as majorly serious just now.
People are getting information from the continuous coverage on BBC and I guess ITV and stuff.

Simon Marks, president and chief correspondent for Feature Story News, was reporting from the Warren Street Underground station for FOX News. He said the area was cordoned off as dozens of fire trucks and emergency vehicles were arriving."I think this looks like much more than a false alarm at this point," Marks told FOX News.

Sounds like a really bad prank if someone's just letting off detonators on the underground.. Sky News just had an eyewitness on who said that someone ran onto the train, dumped a bag and ran off again before the doors closed. Apparently passengers tried to pin him down..

Sky news had reports that the windows had been blown out. But no injuries.

Just the detonators I think. It seems they could have been put on the trains to cause descruption rather than to threat life.

I am just guessing though but from what I can tell on the news there was no real bomb explosion on the trains. By trains I am talking about the vehciles which pass travel on the underground.
