LONDON, July 21 -- Four small explosions shut down the city's public 
transit system at lunchtime Thursday and sent panicked passengers 
fleeing for safety in an echo of the deadly suicide strikes of two weeks 
ago. Police reported one injury.

<>Just as on July 7, men carrying bombs concealed in backpacks hit three 
subway trains and a double-decker bus in quick succession. Initial 
investigation suggested that explosives in the bags only partially 
detonated, officials said, preventing carnage on a scale of the previous 
attacks, which killed at least 56 people, including the attackers.
