London subway bomb attack
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/09/15/...ation.html
Quote:Officials launched a dragnet for the terrorist who detonated a homemade bucket bomb on a packed London subway train during Friday morning rush hour, injuring at least 22 people.
Police quickly called the incident on the District Line train at Parsons Green station a "terrorist incident." It was the fifth terrorist attack in Britain this year. Police said they have not arrested anyone in connection to the bombing but hundreds of detectives were trying to hunt down the perpetrator or perpetrators.
Quote:Scotland Yard said an improvised explosive device was used in the attack, and London's Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism unit was also investigating; however, police did not immediately provide any details on any suspects.
The ambulance service said at least one of the injuries was thought to be serious or life-threatening and most of the injuries were flash burns.
Passengers reported seeing people with burns to their faces and bodies after the "massive flash of flames" on the tube station.
Quote:Photos taken inside a District Line train showed a white plastic bucket inside a supermarket shopping bag with flames and what appear to be wires visible.
Explosive experts told the Daily Mail that they were investigating the bucket and said if it exploded properly it could have killed dozens of people. The BBC reported that the homemade device contained a timer.

The fact that the UK police still haven't put out the security footage tells you everything you need to know.

That pic reminds me of the scene in Independence Day where all the idiots go on to the roof to welcome the aliens. The one stripper lady holds up a sign that reads "Make yourself at home".
Then the aliens blow up the building

Quote:Authorities named one of two Middle Eastern refugees believed to be responsible for last week's London subway bombing, as new details emerged about their troubled time being fostered by a British couple previously honored by Queen Elizabeth II.
Yahyah Farroukh, 21, was identified as one of the suspects being held by London police, Sky News reported. Farroukh was arrested at a fried chicken shop, where he worked, in Hounslow in west London Saturday night. Suleman Sarwar, 43, who owns the chicken shop, said the 21-year-old suspect was arrested after he finished his shift.
“He was very normal,” Sarwar told Sky News. “I don't know how long he worked here. It was surprising seeing him on the news.”
Farroukh’s Facebook profile indicated he was from Damascus and studied English in West Thamas College between 2013 and 2015. He was living in Stanwell, Surrey, where officials conducted a search on Sunday, but also most recently was registered to live with Penelope and Ronald Jones, who were honored by the queen for fostering more than 200 children – including refugees from Middle Eastern countries affected by conflicts. Another unidentified 18-year-old man who was arrested earlier in the day at Dover ferry port, where boats to France leave, was also fostered by the couple.
Both men are being held under the Terrorism Act and questioned by London police about Friday’s attack, when an improvised explosive device partially detonated aboard a subway train at Parsons Green station during morning rush hour, injuring 30 people.
