News from London

It looks like there's been another series of attacks on the London Underground. I haven't seen much coverage of them yet, but so far things look much less disastrous. Unlike the previous attacks, there have been no casualties reported. In fact it looks like things may have gone very wrong for the terrorists. Here's a second-hand report of what happened on one train:

"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. The man then made an exclamation as if something had gone wrong. At that point everyone rushed from the carriage."

Perhaps the intelligence services have allowed some faulty detonators get into the terrorist supply chains. It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this...
