Another incident in London

There have been additional "incidents" in London this afternoon. Three Tube stations have been evacuated, and there are reports of another incident on a bus. No reports of injuries thus far, which is a relief. The BBC is speculating that these may have been "dummy explosions." Eyewitnesses have reported hearing explosions and smelling smoke. There's also been one report of shattered windows on the bus.

Once again I was at the school as all this transpired. I was actually about to head home when I heard the news. I'll stick around here for a little bit to see if I can learn more. For more, click here.

It's been two weeks to the day since the three Underground explosions and the explosion on the bus in Tavistock Square.


UPDATE: BBC now reports one injury. They're now describing the incident as "minor blasts."

UPDATE 2: There have been reports of armed officers surrounding University College Hospital. BBC reports that one of the suspects (involved in the Warren Street Tube Station incident) may have escaped there.

Tony Blair has met with the COBRA committee (COBRA = Cabinet Office Briefing Room A), the UK government emergency-response team, and expected to give a statement soon.

UPDATE 3: A man has been arrested outside Whitehall, which has just been cordoned off. Whitehall is very close to Downing Street, and in particular, the Ministry of Defense Building. There are not many details at this point.

UPDATE 4: Tony Blair is now speaking. It doesn't sound like he has any more information than anyone else; he's asking the reporters to direct their questions to police and emergency personnel. Blair is urging calm, and states that he will return to his daily schedule. Blair was meeting with the Australian prime minister when the incident occurred.

Australian Prime Minister John Howard is now making a few remarks, explaining that terrorism is a global problem that threatens all free countries. He's also pledging Australia's support.

UPDATE 5: It seems everything is under control, though there still aren't many answers. Everyone's been encouraged to go back about their business, so I'm going to head back to the dorm. If I hear more I'll post further updates.
