Terrorism: UK London counts 1 injured, otherwise survives new bomb attempts

Three Tube stations, as Londoners affectionately call their subway stations, were hit and missed by wannabe bombers in a new terror-scare today. A bus also was hit by a device that popped one of its windows.

Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan police commissioner, comparing today's incidents to the 7 July attacks, said: "These are smaller devices, some of them have not gone off properly. We may have recovered forensic material. It may be important to our investigation."

He said that the situations were under control and nothing indicated any form of chemical attack. He added: "Now is the time to get London moving again."

He said later that he did not want to say too much, adding: "At the end of this process we want to have some trials."

He did say, however, that the forensic material available may represent a significant breakthrough. And he asked Londoners who had photos and images from the scenes to send them to the police to help with the investigation.

From the terrorists point of view, where the 7/7 bombings were a "huge success," today's were a dismal failure, one mite say. Still, one injury is one too many. - Owl
