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, police said.
Twenty-two people are being treated in hospital, mostly for burn injuries.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said hundreds of detectives, working with MI5, are investigating the explosion.
Mr Rowley refused to answer whether anyone had yet been arrested over the incident at the station.
