LONDON - Explosions struck three London Underground stations and a bus at midday Thursday in a chilling but less deadly replay of the suicide bombings that killed 56 people two weeks ago.

Only one person was reported wounded, but the lunch-hour explosions caused major shock and disruption in the capital and were hauntingly similar to the July 7 bombings by four attackers.

The London police commissioner confirmed Thursday that four explosions took place in what he described as "a very serious incident."

"We've had four explosions — four attempts at explosions," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Ian Blair said outside police headquarters at Scotland Yard.

"At the moment the casualty numbers appear to be very low ... the bombs appear to be smaller" than those detonated July 7.

This will go on and on. The sad thing is, London is used to bombs / bomb threats. The IRA keeps them on their toes.

its going to get worse before it gets better. these bombings look like they were premature and meant to go off when they did.

they said this was pretty amateurish compared to the ones a couple weeks ago. not even really explosions.

it may either be copycats, who didn't know what they were doing, or the 2nd terrorist cell that the police said were active in London. either way, this attack didn't go off as planned, thank god.
