The blast appears to have originated from a white bucket in a Lidl bag – which appears to have wires protruding from it – found at the rear of the carriage.

It is reported the device was only a "partial detonation" and police confirmed it was an "improvised explosive device".

Eyewitnesses saw several people "covered in blood" after a "flash and a bang" on the District Line service.

At least 22 people have been taken to hospital, with reports of "facial burns" – but London Ambulance Service confirmed "none have life threatening injuries".

Emergency services including armed police rushed to the scene at Parsons Green station after being alerted at around 8.20am on Friday.

Bomb squad officers, armed police, paramedics and firefighters are all in attendance at the incident – the cause and motive of which remain unknown.

There were also unconfirmed reports of second device and a knifeman on the run amid the chaos.

People were hurt in a stampede to exit the station following the blast, which comes after Britain has suffered under a wave of terrorist attacks.

BBC correspondent Riz Lateef, who was at the station travelling to work, said there was "panic as people rushed from the train, hearing what appeared to be an explosion.

"People were left with cuts and grazes from trying to flee the scene. There was lots of panic."

Natasha Wills, of London Ambulance Service said: "We were called at 8.20am to reports of an incident at Parsons Green underground station.

"We have sent multiple resources to the scene including single responders in cars, ambulance crews, incident response officers and our hazardous area response team, with the first of our medics arriving in under five minutes.

"Our initial priority is to assess the level and nature of injuries. More information will follow when we have it.”
 
Police have been granted more time to question two suspects in connection with Friday's Tube attack.

On Saturday an 18-year-old man, thought to be an Iraqi orphan, was arrested in Dover port, and a 21-year-old was detained in Hounslow.

A homemade bomb partially exploded in a train at Parsons Green station, injuring 30 people in rush hour.

Police now have until 23 September to question the 18-year-old, and until 21 September to detain the 21-year-old.

The 18-year-old is a recent foster child at a home in Sunbury-on-Thames, and the 21-year-old has links to the property, where a police cordon is in place.

Police are searching the house owned by foster parents Ronald Jones, 88, and Penelope Jones, 71.

Both men were arrested under section 41 of the Terrorism Act and were granted warrants for further detention by Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Mr and Mrs Jones were made MBEs for services to children in 2010, and friend Alison Griffiths said the couple had an 18-year-old and a 22-year-old staying with them recently.

Police also searched the Aladdins chicken shop in Hounslow, west London, where Mr Farroukh was arrested. A manager confirmed he had worked at the Kingsley Road shop for a number of months.

Shop owner Suleman Sarwar said police searched lockers on the premises. He added: "We didn't know him very well.

"He was quite quiet, he just worked over here and that was it.

"He was very normal. If he did do anything you would never have suspected it."

The so-called Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd said while there was "no evidence" to confirm Islamic State's involvement, work was being done to find out how the attacker was radicalised.

A third man has been arrested over Friday's Tube attack in Parsons Green.

The 25-year-old was arrested in Newport, south Wales, on Tuesday evening, Scotland Yard said. An address in Newport is being searched.

On Saturday an 18-year-old man, who the BBC has learnt had previously been referred to an anti-extremist programme, was arrested in Dover port.

A 21-year-old man was also arrested in Hounslow, west London. Both are still in custody.

A homemade bomb partially exploded in a train at Parsons Green station, injuring 30 people in rush hour.

The 25-year-old was arrested under section 41 of the Terrorism Act.

The 18-year-old arrested man is thought to have lived in a foster home owned by Ronald and Penelope Jones in Sunbury-on-Thames.

He is thought to have moved to the UK from Iraq aged 15 when his parents died.

The BBC has learnt that he had been referred to an anti-extremist programme before his arrest.

It is not known who made the referral and when - or how serious the concerns were.

Sources did not name the flagship Prevent programme, but it is thought that this is the mostly likely case as the referral for help was at local authority level.

Prevent is managed and delivered locally by multi-agency teams of social workers, police officers and other specialists.

He was already in contact with social services because of his foster care placement.

[doublepost=1505903558,1505896607][/doublepost]And another two!

Two men have been arrested in south Wales over Friday's terror attack on a London Underground train, bringing the total number held to five.

A 48-year-old man and a 30-year-old man were detained under the Terrorism Act in the early hours, after a search at an address in Newport.

Police are still searching there, and at a second address in Newport.

The 21-year-old man, also arrested on Saturday, is believed to be Syrian-born Yahyah Farroukh.

Mr Farroukh worked at Aladdins chicken shop in Hounslow, and has been described as a former foster child who had lived in the Jones's house.

Mr Farroukh posted a picture on his Instagram page in May this year with a suitcase on Cavendish Road, Sunbury, almost directly outside the Jones's house.

[doublepost=1506080690][/doublepost]Looks like young Mr Farroukh was not involved.....

The owner of a takeaway has said his shop received abuse and threats after an employee was arrested as part of the Parsons Green attack inquiry.

Suleman Sarwar, of Aladdins chicken shop in Hounslow, said abuse began after Yahyah Farroukh was arrested.

Mr Farroukh, 21, who was not named by police but whose name emerged in the media, has been freed without charge.

Mr Farroukh, from Syria, and another man, 48, who had been arrested in connection with the explosion, have been released without charge.

Four other people - aged 17 to 30 and arrested in south Wales and Dover - remain in police custody.

A teenager has been described as "dangerous and devious" by a judge as he was jailed for life for planting a bomb on a Tube train at Parsons Green.

Ahmed Hassan's device partially exploded during London's rush hour on 15 September, injuring 51 people.

The 18-year-old, from Surrey, who was found guilty of attempted murder, was ordered to serve a minimum of 34 years.

Before the attack the Iraqi asylum seeker had been referred to a government deradicalisation programme.

But the BBC has been told Hassan had not agreed to take part in the Prevent scheme - which operates on the basis that people regarded "at risk" give their consent.

In a January 2016 immigration interview, Hassan told officials he had been in contact with the Islamic State group and had been "trained to kill". The trial also heard he blamed the UK for the death of his father in Iraq.

Hassan had built the bomb in the home of his foster parents in Sunbury-on-Thames while they were away.

On the morning of 15 September, he took a westbound District Line train from Wimbledon, getting off one stop before Parsons Green. His device, which had a timer and was placed in a supermarket plastic bag, was left on the floor of the carriage.

He was arrested the following morning at Dover.

Hassan arrived in the UK in a lorry after having spent time in the migrant camp in Calais known as the Jungle and he was referred to Surrey County Council's social services - a standard procedure for unaccompanied child asylum seekers.

Hassan's foster parents were not aware of the concerns that he harboured extremist views.

The very system they hate permits them the freedoms to buy anything they wish.
This of course includes being able to make IED's.
Yet still they are not happy.

There is no pleasing some people.
