"Police are today hunting for the 'bucket bomber' who tried blow up a rush hour Tube train amid claims that he is armed and may have left other devices.
The crude device could have killed dozens but failed to properly detonate and sent a 'wall of fire' through the carriage injuring at least 18 people including a ten-year-old boy.
Terrified passengers 'ran for their lives' and were seen covered in blood with scorched hands, legs, faces and hair after the incident at Parsons Green station in west London at 8.20am.
Photographs from the District Line train show what experts believe is a 'pretty unsophisticated' bomb in a flaming white bucket inside a Lidl freezer bag with Christmas lights connected to a battery protruding out of the top.
Witnesses said there was a loud 'bang', a flash and then a ball of flame engulfed surrounding passengers.
Scotland Yard say it was a terror attack but could not confirm claims there is another device and the suspect is on the run - but an officer at the scene told MailOnline: 'We believe there is a second bomb - there is a man with knives on the loose.'
