A device that triggered a rush-hour fire aboard a subway train in the British capital was being investigated as terrorism Friday, police said.
Authorities confirmed 22 people had been injured at Parsons Green Tube station in southwest London. None of their wounds — mostly superficial burns — were considered serious or life-threatening.
Investigators were examining the remains of an improvised explosive device.
Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, the senior national coordinator for counterterrorism policing, said the detonation was being treated as a "terrorist incident."
The investigation is currently at the evidence gathering stage and the British police are being tight lipped as they do their jobs.
However that did not stop our Twitler-in-Chief from jumping in with his opinions.
Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017
Wait, cutting off the internet? Cutting it off for who?Loser terrorists must be dealt with in a much tougher manner.The internet is their main recruitment tool which we must cut off & use better!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017
Remember Trump as this point has NO idea who carried out this attack, including whether they were a British citizen or not.The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017
Also completely untrue.We have made more progress in the last nine months against ISIS than the Obama Administration has made in 8 years.Must be proactive & nasty!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017
According to some news sources it appears that Trump is jumping to hasty conclusions and even perhaps sharing information that the authorities are keeping close to the vest.

The tweet came after another message in which he appeared to suggest that the attacker had been known to police, despite Scotland Yard not having said so. "These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard," he posted in a preceding message.
Donald Trump has a history of jumping to false conclusions and stepping all over investigations.
He is essentially guilty of doing the very thing that he accuses the media of doing, trying to be first with the story despite not having gathered sufficient evidence.
