Hunt for train bomber underway
Suspect linked to another bombingWitnesses reported seeing people "covered in blood" after a "flash and a bang" from the device, but sent a "fireball" through the packed Tube train.
Pictures and video posted on social media showed a flaming bucket - which appeared to have wires coming from it - inside a Lidl carrier bag on the floor of a carriage.
The device is not believed to have fully detonated and it is reported that it could have been set off on a timer.
Fifth terrror attack in Britain in 2017 thus far...London police reportedly identified a suspect linked to the bucket bomb that detonated on a packed subway train during Friday morning rush hour, injuring at least 22 people. Sky News reported police identified the suspect through surveillance camera footage.
An explosion on a London Underground train this morning has become the fifth terror attack to hit Britain in 2017.
Britain has experienced a year of repeated atrocities, starting with Westminster Bridge, before the Manchester suicide bombing, the stabbings on London Bridge and the van ramming in Finsbury Park - with some 36 innocent people killed in the sickening attacks.
Today's blast saw fire engulf a packed commuter train at Parsons Green in west London, with 22 people being taken to hospital for treatment.
The scenes of panic evoked memories of the July 7 atrocities in 2005, when suicide bombers killed 52 people in a series of co-ordinated attacks across the transport network.
The bombing at Parsons Green will spark another huge counter-terrorism probe as security services confront an unprecedented threat.
And the incident comes just one day after figures revealed terror-related arrests in Great Britain have hit a new record high, with suspects held at a rate of more than one every day
