An explosion on the London Underground this morning which injured several people has now been confirmed as having been caused by an improvised explosive device. The authorities believe the device, left in a plastic bucket, may have exploded prematurely, and are treating it as a terrorist incident.

Reminds me of the Boston Marathon bombing. I was reading about it in the internet and I've came through the same conclusion as you did too. |

I was reading just now that this is the fifth terror attack in England in 2017, with police having also foiled another six this year. That means that this is the most sustained period of terrorism that England has faced since the height of the IRA's bombing campaign in the '70s. Which is depressing. On a lighter note, I love that locals near Parsons Green station were offering cups of tea and a hug to strangers caught up in the attack on twitter. That's the proper Blitz Spirit.

A shame Trump couldn't resist getting involved and trying to use the incident to promote his own agenda.

It takes three days of "getting the facts" before the Charlatan-in-Chief can offer a non-rebuke of white supremacists. But he'll pop off about an act of terrorism on foreign soil before he's had time to change from his bathrobe and slippers much less be briefed. |
