Hi Hula.

1 person injured at warren st, some reports say is is the suspect bomber - the suspect has entered (we think) uch and is being tracked by armed police

[Easy]

Tube train had bloke on it with exploding rucksack. No injuries, but bloke 'looked dismayed'

[mummy23]

[soapbox]

Thank you!!!!

[bluebear]

mini-bombs (like nail bombs but only the detonators went off) at warren street tube, oval tube and shepard's bush tube and on a no 26 bus in Hackney/bethnal green area.
So far only 1 injury reported (warren street)
UCH sealed off with armed police presence, looking for a suspect with wires in his shirt.
Another suspect arrested near Downing street.

All tubes stopped, and people in central london are requested to stay where they are.

[hunkermunker]

All tubes stopped?

Tony ......Blair .....on...now
Not v informative though. Lets continue as if nothing has happened etc.

[Easy]

I said he has nothing to contribute.

Opportunist spin if you ask me.

[oliveoil]

God he's a twat. Bet he looks dead concerned as well. When did he last get a tube/bus? (says olive who never does but ykwim)

[northerner]

Sorry, I know it's in bad taste, but can't help sniggering at guy who 'looked dismayed' after his rucksack exploded. Couldn't they have used another word other than dismayed?

[spacedonkey]

Have to admit my sister and I have been sniggering about that too

[MrsDoolittle]

I know northerner, Easy and I have been chuckling about it too

[HappyDaddy]

Maybe his favourite book was in the rucksack? Come on then, cheer me up.

[dillydally]

I just hope they catch one of them and bring them to whatever justice they deserve
I would also express my admiration for the police dealing with these tw@ts - not something I would have though of saying too much in the past.

[mummy23]

it was probably harry potter

[ScummyMummy]

I've been sniggering loads at that. Damn.. I think I maybe can't get out of going to work. Due there at 5pm. Grrr! Was hoping to wriggle out of it.

[Tinker]

Say you're too dismayed to come in.

[HappyDaddy]

Hmmm very funny. Sorry, am I the only one who has someone affected by this? Do I actually exist on this board or do you only notice me when I upset you all?

Sorry, I'm a bit shaken and upset. I don't mean to offend anyone.

[Klara]

WHY DID THESE BOMBS NOT GO OFF - WAS IT ON PURPOSE? Why are the police going into tube stations in chemical suits? Were this lot planning to spread something nasty IYSWIM??

God I hope not

Klara

[spacedonkey]

HD, I'm so sorry if I've offended you
