A blast that ripped through a London Underground train this morning injuring about 20 people including a schoolboy was a terror attack.
There have been warnings a suspect armed with a knife is still on the run as bomb squads are called in to deactivate a second device.
This morning’s explosion left commuters with “facial burns” after a “fireball flew down a carriage” on a busy rush-hour train with The Telegraph reporting there is believed to be a second device.
People fled the station screaming as the blast sent flames flying with a Metro reporter at the scene saying people are “really badly burned” adding that “their hair was coming off”.
