Transport for London believes the structural damage to the Piccadilly line tunnel from Thursday’s terrorist attack was not as bad as had been initially feared.

Russian counter-terrorism officials are said to suspect that terrorist attacks were planned in each of the five cities competing for the 2012 Olympics. A senior police officer warned another attack could be imminent.
