More Bangs In London
Posted by Macavity on Jul 21, 2005 06:00AM (PST) from the bang-bang-a-boom dept.
BBC News - Dummy 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 Shepherd's Bush Tube stations. Emergency services also attended an incident on a route 26 bus in Hackney Road in Bethnal Green.

Bombers caused panic and confusion in London today with four "nearly simultaneous" small explosions across the capital's transport system. Armed police arrested a man in Whitehall outside the gates to Downing Street, across the road from the Ministry of Defence. As police trained their weapons on him he was made to lie on the ground and open his shirt before he was handcuffed and led him away. A second man was also arrested and police are still searching for others they believe are involved. The Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, said the explosions appeared to be the result of "broadly conventional" weapons with no evidence of a chemical attack. He said, "The situation is now coming fully under control. We have all four scenes of the incidents confirmed and confined. "We have no evidence at the present time, nothing to indicate any kind of attack which involves chemicals or anything else."
