LONDON (Reuters) - London police said at least 33 people were killed on Thursday morning in four bomb blasts that rocked the British capital. Brian Paddick, deputy assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said seven people were killed on an underground train near Moorgate station, 21 confirmed dead near Liverpool Street subway station and five dead at Edgware Road.
People were also killed when a blast blew the roof off a double-decker bus near Russell Square but the number was not immediately clear.
Forty-five people were seriously or critically wounded, a representative of the city's ambulance service told reporters.
"We have treated 45 patients with serious or critical injuries including burns, amputations, chest and blast injuries and fractured limbs," Russell Smith said at a joint emergency services news conference.
There were 300 patients with minor injuries including shock and cuts, he added. Over 100 ambulances had been used.
