Terrorist-Losers - Explosions Mostly Harmless

There are reports of explosions in three London tube stations. Shepherd's Bush, Warren Street, and Oval stations are reported to have been hit by explosions, with at least one "nail bomb" included. There are also reports of a possible bus explosion, as well. I'd say it's a good bet that Islamic/Islamicist terrorism is involved.

Fox News is reporting that noises similar to gunshots were also heard at the Warren Street stop, which may have been denotators going off, but failing to actually detonate the bomb. Also, one man's backpack exploded enough to blow up the pack itself, but not enough to do much else, causing some consternation on his part.

The London Telegraph is reporting that the incident is not being treated as a major event at this time. Reports are that the bus that was hit hat its windows blown out with no casualties.

Early reports seem to show that this attack (possible attack?) did not go off as planned, with failed detonations, smaller-than-expected detonations, smoke and some smells being the end result. Could this be a separate cell that didn't have the skills of the previous group? Whatever the case, incompetence on the part of the terrorists works in our favor.
