Sky News: INCIDENTS REPORTED NEAR TUBE STATIONS

LondonA series of incidents have been reported near Warren Street, Oval and Shepherd’s Bush stations on the London Underground.

The station have been evacuated. Smoke was seen coming from a train.

A man on the train told Sky News he spoke to an Italian man who witnessed an explosion.

“He told me he had seen a man carrying a rucksack which suddenly exploded. It was a minor explosion but enough to blow open his rucksack. Everyone rushed from the carriage. People evacuated very quickly. There was no panic.

“I didn’t see anyone injured but there was shock and fright.

“There was a smell of smoke.”

Police have cordoned off the streets around Warren Street station. They said a suspect package had been reported on a Victoria Line train.

Update: The bombers and bomb makers were very different from the suicide bombers whose attacks exactly two weeks ago killed more than 50 people.

There are reports that the police have captured the bomber at Warren Street, or chased him into a nearby hospital.

But so many questions remain. Were they copy-cat bombers? Were the targets chosen in the form of the four points of the compass - north, south, east, west, like the July 7 bombs were supposed to be?

Members of the public reported problems on the tube lines hours before the attacks. Was there prior intelligence of possible attacks?

    so far the BBC is saying they’re “Minor explosions using detonators only” let’s hope that’s all what it is..

    Yeah, seems like it could be copy cat attacks.
