A man, aged 23, was treated in hospital for slight head injuries and released.The sergeant spotted the bomb in a telephone box near the high-security Paddington Green police station, where terrorist suspects are interrogated.He cleared the area minutes before the blast destroyed the box and blew out nearby windows.Minutes before, after the device had been spotted, a warning was given to a telephone exchange that a bomb would go off in Paddington.Six other people have been injured, none seriously, in earlier blasts, which have caused limited damage but considerable traffic disruption There were two explosions in north London on Friday night. Yet in Market Square, which hasn’t seen livestock for 40 years and retains only one pub, a rosy futureis hard to discern in what has been criticised as the ‘harsh and restless concrete’ of Aylesbury’s ‘insensitive modern development’.'I don’t know what’s happening to us,’ said Roma Wood, who lives in Wendover but has shopped in Aylesbury since the Fifties and seen its adjacent farmland gobbled up by housing estates.

It was sufficient to bring Arsenal back into contention.The hope that Giggs would match Cantona quickly faded. Mansell’s team produce reliable race cars, but so do Penske, the team of the defending champion, Emerson Fittipaldi.The airport will stay open until the last minute, with the IndyCars having their first taste of the track today.
