Another Attack on London?
UPDATE: Four explosions confirmed, only 1 injury reported. Still lots of confusion, unconfirmed reports of a unexploded bomb that's on a bus.
One thing's for sure, from what I'm watching on Fox, the British police are all over the affected areas like white on rice.
The BBC is reporting 'incidents' & evacuations at 3 London Underground stations.
Reuters is reporting a nail bomb explosion and possibly one shooting.
AP is reporting smoke & possibly one minor explosion:
McCracken said he smelled smoke at the Warren Street station, and people were panicking and coming into his carriage. He said he spoke to an Italian man who was comforting a woman after the evacuation.
"He said that a man was carrying a rucksack and the rucksack suddenly exploded. It was a minor explosion but enough to blow open the rucksack," McCracken said.
"The man then made an exclamation as if something had gone wrong. At that point everyone rushed from the carriage."
Not entirely clear at this point what, if anything has happened.
