More blasts hit London transport

Thursday, July 21, 2005; Posted: 11:07 a.m. EDT (15:07 GMT)

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Four "explosion or attempts at explosions" have been reported on three London Underground stations and a bus, two weeks after the July 7 terror attacks, the city's police chief has said.

Scotland Yard also said they were looking into an "incident" at University College London Hospital (UCL), where armed officers have been deployed. Witnesses reported policemen with flak jackets entered the hospital along with dogs.

Sky TV reported that police said they were searching that hospital for a man wearing a blue shirt with wires protuding from a hole in the back.

UCL hospital is near Warren Street station, where police said one of three small devices detonated. The other blasts were reported at Oval and Shepherd's Bush stations.

Thursday's blasts came two weeks to the day since bombs on three Tube trains on a bus killed 52 people and four of the bombers.
 
This seems to be a developing story - There are no plans to change the national threat level. It also seems as if these are smaller blasts, and it appears that there have been no deaths with this set of attacks.
