On Friday , a home-made bomb on a packed rush-hour commuter train in London engulfed a carriage in flames and injured 22 people , being Britain’s fifth major terrorism incident this year. Fortunately, the bomb failed to fully explode.
Passengers heading into the British capital fled in panic after the blast as the train was about to depart Parsons Green underground station in West London at 8.20 a.m. (0720 GMT).
Some passengers suffered burns and others were injured in a stampede to escape but health officials said none were thought to be in a serious condition.
