Parsons Green: Underground blast a terror incident, say police

An "improvised explosive device" was detonated on a Tube train in south-west London during Friday's rush hour, Scotland Yard has confirmed.

The blast, at Parsons Green station on an eastbound District Line train from Wimbledon, is being treated as terrorism.

Twenty-two people are being treated in hospital, mostly for burn injuries.

A hunt for the person who placed the device is under way, with hundreds of detectives and MI5 investigating.
