LONDON, July 9 -- The bombs that ripped through three London subway 
trains during Thursday's morning rush hour were high explosives 
triggered almost simultaneously, most likely by synchronized timing 
devices rather than by suicide bombers, according to a revised account 
released on Saturday by police.

After examining computer data, electrical equipment and eyewitness 
statements, investigators have concluded that the three bombs were set 
off within 50 seconds of one another, officials said during a news 
conference. "It was bang, bang, bang -- very close together," said Tim 
O'Toole, managing director of the London Underground.
