London hit again by terror blasts
"This may represent a significant breakthrough," he said. "There is obviously forensic material at these scenes which may be very helpful to us." One witness named Andrea who was on a train travelling through Oval station in south London told BBC television: "It sounded like a balloon had popped but a lot louder and then we all moved to one end of the carriage. There was something on the floor and you could see something had exploded. "They opened the door so we could move through to the next carriage and there was a guy still standing in the carriage. "And then we pulled into Oval, we got off on the platform and the guy just ran and started running up the escalator. "Everyone was screaming for someone to stop him." SECURITY NERVES Pakistani security forces have arrested a British Muslim, Haroon Rashid Aswad, believed to be linked to the July 7 bombings, according to Pakistani intelligence sources. The July 7 bombs, claimed on the Internet by a little-known Islamic militant group, coincided with a summit of the Group of Eight leading industrialised nations in Scotland. Although markets again rebounded from the latest shock, nervousness was growing about the prospect of more attacks. "The security issues have just got 500 percent greater," said Jeremy Hodges, head of foreign exchange sales at Lloyds TSB bank. "It will reflect badly on the economy."
