Multiple blasts paralyse London
Firefighters at Aldgate Tube station
Firefighters aid an injured passenger at Aldgate station
Several people have been injured after explosions on the Underground
network and a double-decker bus in London.

A police spokesman said there were "quite a large number of
casualties" at Aldgate Tube Station.

And Scotland Yard confirmed one of several reports of explosions on
buses in the city - in Tavistock Place - but said the cause was not
yet known.

UK Home Secretary Charles Clarke said several explosions in central
London had caused "terrible injuries".

"The health services are in support to deal with the terrible injuries
that there have been," Clarke told reporters outside Downing Street.

Number 10 said it was "still unsure" whether the explosions were a
terrorist attack and although casualties were reported, no further
details were yet available.

Ministers are meeting to clarify the situation and the government will
make a statement later, Leader of the House Geoff Hoon told the
Commons.

One caller to BBC Five said his friend had seen "the bus ripped open
like a can of sardines and bodies everywhere".

And the Press Association quoted union officials as saying sources had
told them there had been at least one explosive device on the
Underground.


There was immediately smoke everywhere and it was hot and everybody
panicked. People started screaming and crying
Jacqui Head
BBC News

Bus 'ripped apart' in explosion

British Transport Police said incidents took place at Aldgate, Edgware
Road, King's Cross, Old Street and Russell Square stations.

Scotland Yard confirmed they were assisting with a "major incident"
and said there were casualties.

Hospitals have said they are no longer accepting non-emergency cases,
BBC Five Live reported.

The National Grid, which supplies power to the Underground, said there
had been no problems with its system which could have contributed to
the incidents.

'Screaming and crying'

Jacqui Head, from BBC News, who had just left King's Cross station on
a Piccadilly Line train as an explosion happened, said: "Everything
was normal. Suddenly there was a massive ****, the train jolted.

"There was immediately smoke everywhere and it was hot and everybody
panicked. People started screaming and crying."

The train was kept in the tunnel for 20 minutes and no announcement
was made to explain the delay to passengers, she added.

Liberal Democrat MP Simon Hughes, near Kings Cross, told Five Live:
"My only thought in the midst of all this confusion is that after the
celebration of yesterday (for the Olympic 2012 London success) for
people to be evil enough - if it is the intentional causing of death
and injury - and think that they can justify this in any circumstances
is completely unacceptable."

London Fire Brigade said four crews were at Liverpool Street and more
were on their way.

Another passenger, who had left the Tube at Fenchurch Street Station,
and walked to Aldgate East, told BBC Five Live that he saw injured
people.

"As I walked through the bus station I could see people lying on the
ground, black, as if they'd been covered in smoke. There were about
three or four people on the floor being treated."

Eyewitness Paul Woloszyn from BBC News, who was at Blackhorse Road
station on the Victoria Line, said: "We were told there was a bomb at
Liverpool Street station.

"I was on the Tube, and they stopped the train and told everyone to
get off and evacuate the station."

He said staff had said the entire Tube network had been affected, and
leaflets had been handed out with details of alternative bus routes.

Another eyewitness, Dorothy Molloy, had been on a Tube train at King's
Cross and said "staff just chucked everyone out of the station".

She said staff there had not given any details, but she said two
passengers she had spoken to had said they had received messages
saying there had been bombs.

"People didn't really know what was going on, they were just huffing
and puffing and saying how annoying it was," she said.

"People don't seem to be panicked, but there's so many police and
ambulances coming into the areas. People are just concerned, and some
are just annoyed at the delay."

The BBC website is also near saturated.

Multiple blasts paralyse London
Firefighters at Aldgate Tube station
Firefighters aid an injured passenger at Aldgate station
Several people have been injured after explosions on the Underground
network and a double-decker bus in London.

A police spokesman said there were "quite a large number of
casualties" at Aldgate Tube Station.

And Scotland Yard confirmed one of several reports of explosions on
buses in the city - in Tavistock Place - but said the cause was not
yet known.

UK Home Secretary Charles Clarke said several explosions in central
London had caused "terrible injuries".

"The health services are in support to deal with the terrible injuries
that there have been," Clarke told reporters outside Downing Street.

Number 10 said it was "still unsure" whether the explosions were a
terrorist attack and although casualties were reported, no further
details were yet available.

Ministers are meeting to clarify the situation and the government will
make a statement later, Leader of the House Geoff Hoon told the
Commons.

One caller to BBC Five said his friend had seen "the bus ripped open
like a can of sardines and bodies everywhere".

And the Press Association quoted union officials as saying sources had
told them there had been at least one explosive device on the
Underground.


There was immediately smoke everywhere and it was hot and everybody
panicked. People started screaming and crying

Bus 'ripped apart' in explosion

British Transport Police said incidents took place at Aldgate, Edgware
Road, King's Cross, Old Street and Russell Square stations.

Scotland Yard confirmed they were assisting with a "major incident"
and said there were casualties.

Hospitals have said they are no longer accepting non-emergency cases,
BBC Five Live reported.

The National Grid, which supplies power to the Underground, said there
had been no problems with its system which could have contributed to
the incidents.

'Screaming and crying'

Jacqui Head, from BBC News, who had just left King's Cross station on
a Piccadilly Line train as an explosion happened, said: "Everything
was normal. Suddenly there was a massive ****, the train jolted.

"There was immediately smoke everywhere and it was hot and everybody
panicked. People started screaming and crying."

The train was kept in the tunnel for 20 minutes and no announcement
was made to explain the delay to passengers, she added.

Liberal Democrat MP Simon Hughes, near Kings Cross, told Five Live:
"My only thought in the midst of all this confusion is that after the
celebration of yesterday (for the Olympic 2012 London success) for
people to be evil enough - if it is the intentional causing of death
and injury - and think that they can justify this in any circumstances
is completely unacceptable."

London Fire Brigade said four crews were at Liverpool Street and more
were on their way.

Another passenger, who had left the Tube at Fenchurch Street Station,
and walked to Aldgate East, told BBC Five Live that he saw injured
people.

"As I walked through the bus station I could see people lying on the
ground, black, as if they'd been covered in smoke. There were about
three or four people on the floor being treated."

Eyewitness Paul Woloszyn from BBC News, who was at Blackhorse Road
station on the Victoria Line, said: "We were told there was a bomb at
Liverpool Street station.

"I was on the Tube, and they stopped the train and told everyone to
get off and evacuate the station."

He said staff had said the entire Tube network had been affected, and
leaflets had been handed out with details of alternative bus routes.

Another eyewitness, Dorothy Molloy, had been on a Tube train at King's
Cross and said "staff just chucked everyone out of the station".

She said staff there had not given any details, but she said two
passengers she had spoken to had said they had received messages
saying there had been bombs.

"People didn't really know what was going on, they were just huffing
and puffing and saying how annoying it was," she said.

"People don't seem to be panicked, but there's so many police and
ambulances coming into the areas. People are just concerned, and some
are just annoyed at the delay."
