Hunt for four suspected suicide bombers continues
A hunt is underway for four suspected suicide bombers who attempted to set off four explosive devices on three London Tube trains and a bus.
Police are examining evidence at each of the sites, streets were cordoned off and stations were evacuated.
No-one was seriously hurt in the incident.
Forensic experts will try to establish whether there is a link from the scenes which may hold clues to previous attacks.
It is believed the detonators, which were contained in rucksacks, caused small blasts, but failed to detonate the bombs themselves.
The bombers managed to get away from the scene.
Three of the four devices are believed to be of similar size and weight to the bombs used in the 7 July attacks.
The attacks started at 12.25pm yesterday when police evacuated Shepherd’s Bush Tube station after an attempted explosion on the Hammersmith and City line.
Two men were arrested but were later released without being charged.
