It's just been mooted again (police sources) that the "one injury" is to the clown that tried to set off the bomb.

U.C.H. is cordoned off, either because of a big bomb at Warren St or because the bomber has ended up there for treatment (latter now seeming more likely). Hope they get the public out the way so they can give him a damn good hiding.

Sorry to interject, but it really is an awesome performance by England.


And entirely irrelevant.

Don't worry lad, it's nothing too serious. Only 1 injured.

News 24 suggesting that there was someone with a rucksack who tried to detonate a bomb, failed to do so and so ran into UCL hospital (hence the cordoning off).

All speculation at the moment and unconfirmed.

EDIT- the news 24 correspondent just outside the Ministry of Defence has just seen a man being arrested and handcuffed. This story is moving quickly- looks like the BBC at least have people in the right places this afternoon.

BBC team at Downing Street have just been told to turn off their camera by police. Any reason for this?

Well, the man who was just arrested was outside the MoD- that's just opposite the gates to Downing Street.

Sky News just showed live pictures of the police pointing a gun at a man dressed in dark clothing outside the MOD. He was then led away. His shirt was open as if they had searched him.

That hasn't stopped Sky, obviously...
