UPDATE: Britain raises number injured in bombing to 29
LONDON, United Kingdom (AP) — British authorities say the number of people treated at hospitals after the bombing on the London Underground subway has risen to 29.
The National Health Service says 21 people are being treated and eight others have already been discharged. The London Ambulance Service says it took 19 patients to hospitals, most with minor injuries. The others went in themselves.
Police say most of those injured by an improvised explosive device on Friday suffered from flash burns. They say there have been no reports of serious life-threatening injuries.
The device burst into flames aboard a train at the Parsons Green station during the morning rush hour. London police are conducting a wide manhunt for the person or persons responsible.
