London Tube station reopens after blast on train

London transport authorities say they have re-opened the station where a bomb partially detonated on a subway car, injuring 29 people.

 

The blast sent what witnesses described as a fireball through the packed train during the Friday morning rush hour. The injuries, some from the explosion and others from an ensuing stampede, where not thought to be life-threatening.

 

Transport for London said that the Parsons Green station in southwest London station had reopened at 1:30 am on Saturday, more than 17 hours after the explosion.

 

British authorities increased the country's terror threat level to "critical," meaning they think another attack may be imminent. No arrests have been made and a major manhunt for suspects is underway. British soldiers are being deployed across the country at public sites to assist police.
