US President Donald Trump has claimed Scotland Yard knew about the Parsons Green Tube bomber.
Donald Trump tweeted: ‘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!’
He added: ‘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!’
The president even linked the attack to his controversial travel ban. He said: ‘The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!’
He also drew attention to the military action against ISIS and should the US should ‘get nasty.’
The president wrote: ‘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!’

Police are today hunting for the ‘bucket bomber’ who tried blow up a rush hour Tube train amid claims that he is armed and may have left other devices.
The crude device could have killed dozens but failed to properly detonate and sent a ‘wall of fire’ through the carriage injuring at least 18 people including a ten-year-old boy.
Terrified passengers ‘ran for their lives’ and were seen covered in blood with scorched hands, legs, faces and hair after the incident at Parsons Green station in west London at 8.20am.
Photographs from the District Line train show what experts believe is a ‘pretty unsophisticated’ bomb in a flaming white bucket inside a Lidl freezer bag with Christmas lights connected to a battery protruding out of the top.
Witnesses said there was a loud ‘bang’, a flash and then a ball of flame engulfed surrounding passengers.
Scotland Yard say it was a terror attack but could not confirm claims there is another device and the suspect is on the run – but an officer at the scene told MailOnline: ‘We believe there is a second bomb – there is a man with knives on the loose.’
Luke Warsmey said the explosion was like a ‘giant match’ sparking and he saw a woman with no skin on her legs and a ten-year-old boy with a burned body.
