LONDON -- A Friday morning explosion at the Parson's Green London Underground train station caused panic and left at least 22 people injured in a bombing attack, but luckily caused no fatalities.

It quickly became clear that the attack could have been much worse, as the "improvised explosive device" used appeared to have failed, at least partially.

"Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, the senior national coordinator for CT (counter-terrorism) policing, has declared it a terrorist incident," the Metropolitan Police said in a statement about two hours after chaos erupted on a train at Parsons Green station, in the southwest part of the British capital.
...
London Underground suspended services on a stretch of the District Line, the one affected by the incident, but said the rest of the network would continue running. London police evacuated everyone within about 50 yards of the train, including some residences, later Friday "whilst specialist officers secure the remnants of the improvised device and ensure it is stable."
