Sounds like the terrosists have tried to move again too soon. They are talking as though only the detonator charges went off. But the main device failed to. Thats great news for 1) the people anywhere near it and 2) The police as it gives them fresh leads.

1 man arrested by SO19 at Downing Street.

1 man being sought by Police Asian/Black appearence 6' 2" with wires coming out of his jacket

At 1 of the stations guy threw a rucksack onto a Tube and legged it. I would guess the person hurt at the tube station was probably trying to stop the suspect escaping.

At this early stage. It seems that the terrorsits dont have the technical capability to make bombs correctly. I wonder if the car at Luton train station was being used as a cache. And when it was removed they have very little explosive left, so are trying to make other versions which are less reliable.

Glad that so far no ones been seriously hurt, and as ever the blue light services have responded admirably
