Documents on how to make bombs found at train headed for Luton Station

LONDON, Sept 1 (KUNA) -- British Armed police were called in to search two trains at Luton station, outside London, last night after cleaners found documents describing "how to make a bomb", Police said Tuesday.
The notes were found last night while one of the trains was at Bedford Station, and it left for Luton with around 50 passengers before the staff could raise the alarm.
Police took off the passengers at Luton, searching that train and another one which had also arrived from Bedford town nearby.
Both trains were delayed for nearly an hour before the all-clear was given, when the trains and their passengers were allowed to continue.
"We can only apologise for the inconvenience that was caused... but in light of the information contained in the notes found, it was felt necessary to take this course of action," a force spokesman said.
"A thorough search of the carriages was necessary not only to capture any additional evidence that maybe present but also to ensure passenger safety.
