"Nail bomb exploded at Warren St. Station - one injured. Three stations evacuated. Street bus - windows blown out - no other injuries."

Do you have a link for that? As my english friends are telling me the blasts are dummy bombs designed to cause panick only

"The man then made an exclamation as if something had gone wrong. At that point everyone rushed from the carriage."

That's when "everyone" should have been all over this guy.

I'm here, reading along. Sounds like amateurs (Hopefully)

Not many injuries, at least from what I've read so far thank God.

Capture them, and do whatEVER is necessary to get info out of them. Now is not the time to go wobbly.

Remember, according to the BBC and the Canadians, these are not terrorists, per se. These are bombers. Heavern forbid we should use the term terrorist. It may make the citizens start thinking there is a war against terrorism and they might do something stupid - like supporting the President and the Prime Minister./sarcasm off.

I also don't believe any other non-muslim group would do anything that would associate themselves with the type of attack perpetrated on 7/7.

Statement by George Galloway,

It seems that extreme Leftists would. And they might likely bumble it for lack of experience.

"The man who was holding the rucksack looked extremely dismayed.

He should look dismayed. I pity the fool if that should happen near me, any threats to my personal safety be damned, I'd tackle the SOB and do anything to make sure he didn't get away. I'd hope that fellow citizens would join in if need be.

Well, the UK is over-crowded anyway. It would be a great start at restoring England for the English.

A nail bomb. How very Muslim-sounding.

"What scares me is that it seems unlikely that all three bombs would be "duds."

I think it is most likely that the detonators went off but didn't spark the explosive. Quite likely if it was a homemade bomb like the ones last week seem to have been.

True, but one of the two components of a terror attack is to cause terror. Thank God these guys were incompetent, but if nerves were rattled after 7/7...

What if he still had explosives on him?

"he had seen a man carrying a rucksack which suddenly exploded. It was a minor explosion but enough to blow open his rucksack "

Sounds like they didn't mix the chemicals properly or in then right ratio.

These are much improved statistics compared to July 7

The only security improvement is that the Chemist is in jail in Egypt, leaving the second stringers in charge. The backpacks made it to the train stations, only the incompetence of the explosive maker foiled a tremendous loss.

Report that London police are not considering this a "serious" incident.....yet.

Police report that it is not a serious as the incidents two weeks ago.

Sounds like bombs were placed, but did not explode. Maybe link to remote detonators was not working. Or, whoever built the bombs did a very good job.

Hope they hold up all flights out of Heathrow until they can do a security check on passengers.

Bad main charges. Probably all made at same time. Lije early WWII torpedo detonators.

My condolences, friend. May all the injured be the bombers themselves. Prayers.
