"Urgent hunt for London attackers"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Three of the devices are the same size and weight as those used for the 7 July London bombings. The same chemicals also appear to have been used.
Analysts say evidence from the scenes may hold clues to the previous attacks.
Rucksacks
Thursday's attacks began at about 1230 BST, with bombs at Warren Street station, central London, Shepherd's Bush station in the west, Oval in the south and on a bus in Shoreditch, east London.
As on 7 July, the bombs are believed to have been carried in rucksacks. Three are thought to have been of a similar size to the previous bombs, while the fourth was smaller and appeared to have been contained in a plastic box.
Clearly the intention must have been to kill. You don't do this with any other intention

It is thought the detonators went off, causing small blasts, but failed to detonate the bombs themselves. The bombers managed to flee.
Police will focus on forensic evidence from the scenes as well as CCTV footage.
A wealth of witnesses have also come forward with first hand accounts of events, descriptions of the bombers and photographs of scenes.
Some said the attackers seemed "scared" or "surprised" when their bombs failed to explode properly.
Oval attack witness Kate Reid describe hearing a "pop" as if a big balloon had burst before seeing a young, dark-skinned man with a bag at his feet looking "really scared"."
