From the BBC:

Tube cleared after minor blasts

Minor explosions using detonators only have sparked the evacuation of three Tube stations and the closure of three lines, a BBC correspondent has said.
Police cordoned off large areas around Warren Street, Oval and one of the Shepherd's Bush Tube stations.

A route 26 bus in Hackney Road in Bethnal Green had its windows blown out by a blast. There were no injuries.

Police in London say they are not treating the situation as "a major incident yet".

One person was injured at Warren Street. There were reports the injured person may have been holding a rucksack containing the detonator.

Police said armed officers had been deployed to University College Hospital after an incident.

The whole of the Northern Line has been suspended, along with the Victoria Line and the Hammersmith and City line.

A number of other stations were closed including Westminster tube station, Waterloo station and King's Cross Thameslink. There were also reports that St Paul's tube and Oxford Circus tube station were closed.

Tony Blair cancelled events in the afternoon and will be attending a meeting of the Cobra committee along with Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

The BBC's Andrew Winstanley said devices had been found but appeared to have been dummies, containing no explosives.

London Underground went to an amber alert with trains taken to the next station and evacuated.

An eyewitness at Oval station said there had been a small bang, and a man had then run off when the Tube reached the station.


Police have set up cordons round the stations

A spokesman for Stagecoach said the driver of the number 26 bus travelling through Shoreditch had heard a bang on upper deck, gone upstairs and seen the windows were blown out.

The bus driver was very shaken but said to be fine.

At Shepherd's Bush Hammersmith and City line station, police told reporters that a man had threatened to blow himself up and then ran off.

Sosiane Mohellavi, 35, was travelling from Oxford Circus to Walthamstow when she was evacuated from a train at Warren Street.

"I was in the carriage and we smelt smoke - it was like something was burning.

"Everyone was panicked and people were screaming. We had to pull the alarm. I am still shaking."

The BBC's Rory Barnett said there had been no smoke on the platform at Warren St.

Liz Edwards, who works near Warren Street Underground station, said the area was full of activity.

"There are police, fire engines and ambulances all around there. A guy from our office had just come back from the station and said the police were aggressively keeping people away from the station and that you could not get anywhere near it."

It depends on if you are asking about the War on Terror or the war in Iraq. While the same thing, many people try to seperate them.

Russia and India are their Traditional Targets which have taken the Blunt of the Terror ......... USA became the Third to Join when it stationed it's troops in Saudi Arabia ...... after the Iraq war UK is the New Target .

Basically For Organisations like LeT , AQ it's about Belivers against non-belivers ............ LeT works with a Agenda to Create a Islamic Supremacy Over the world .......... AQ was formed Against Soviets but later Took the Self Proclamed role to Protect Muslims Around the World From so called Non-Muslim Tyrants :roll: .


Peace

oh cheers, the only one of them iv heard of is (of course) Al-Quaida.
any of you guys from the north heard of the nasty little buggers called Jemiah Islamiah - JI
 
You know, I was thinking about the difference between Brits and Americans.

I couldn't imagine a situation in America where 3 bombs fail to go off and the terrorist bolts for the door and actually makes it there. Americans tend to run TO the bomber when they hear "allah akbar" and I really couldn't imagine 3 failed suicide bombers making it out of that train without being dragged out on a stretcher.

Not to knock our Brittish buddies or anything, I just thought it was odd that all 3 bombers got out.
