In the past hour there have been three major explosions on the London <br>underground. The first occurred at 10 past 8 on the Piccadilly line between Knightsbridge and Hyde Park <br>Corner. The second, at 16 minutes past 8, on the Central Line between Tottenham Court Road and Oxford <br>Circus, and the third at 27 minutes past 8 as a train was arriving at Vauxhall Station in Stockwell on the <br>Victoria line. Emergency services have been called to all three scenes. There are no reports available yet <br>on the number of casualties, and the police have said that it's too early to identify a possible cause. London <br>underground is now closed and the police are asking people not to travel.<br><br>...<br><br>CRISPIN BLACK<br>Former Intelligence Officer<br>What we're seeing on film here today, isn't particularly complex or sophisticated. These are three bombs on <br>the tube, we're not quite sure what kind of bombs but just three and a line in the city we're still not sure <br>what's coming out of that. Now to organise these things isn't particularly difficult, remember Madrid had <br>10-13 bombs, so this is quite.. this is quite a low scenario on the Islamist terrorist capability slide, and even <br>with this I get a sense that.. you know.. we're being stretche<br><br>...<br><br>Tues May 25 10:41 <br>LONDON ATTACKS<br>Chlorine tanker explodes<br>We can now confirm that a tanker carrying chlorine has exploded at the junction of Shoreditch High Street <br>and Commercial Street. Chlorine is extremely toxic in this form and the police are issuing express <br>warnings to people to stay indoors, close windows and remain there until the all clear is given.<br><br><br>...<br><br>PRICE: If there are now bombs going off above ground, in this case a lorry being attacked, it could happen <br>anywhere, so the potential for mass panic across not just the capital but the whole country is very much <br>with us. I think therefore we need to look at more serious measures. We do have reserve powers in effect <br>to take over the BBC if we were to wish to, and to get them to broadcast whatever we wanted them to <br>broadcast. Those powers are there in the Broadcasting Act. By advice to the Prime Minister would be not <br>to use those but I think we should be talking to the broadcasters about having the Prime Minister on the air <br>very quickly. </em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <p></p><i></i>
