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.
