Police foil 'Tube bomb plot' after discovery of 'viable device' on London Underground

The device found on the train could have been part of a plot to attack the transport network, it is believed. A memo from the Ministry of Defence to staff said the culprit could have planted more. A 19-year-old was detained at 12.20pm on Friday afternoon in Holloway, North London, one day after the item was detonated in a controlled explosion at North Greenwich station. Witnesses described how officers shouted 'armed police, don't struggle´ as they arrested the white bearded man wearing a hoodie, jacket, jeans and trainers, pictured left. Security has been ramped up on London's public transport network since with more officers, including armed police, on patrol at travel hubs and high visibility patrols. Yesterday, passengers were evacuated from the station near The O2 Arena in East London as alarm bells rang and a huge section of the Jubilee line was suspended, pictured right and inset.
