Brits are dense:
Police have identified the Parsons Green Tube bomber using CCTV after this morning's terror attack but the investigation has been overshadowed by an extraordinary diplomatic row triggered by Donald Trump.
The US President tweeted just hours after the rush hour blast that police had the attacker 'in their sights' and should have been 'more proactive' in catching 'the loser'.
Yet Scotland Yard hit back and said Mr Trump's comments were 'pure speculation' while senior officers refused to name the suspect.
Officers are hunting for the terror suspect across London amid claims he could be armed and may have planted other explosive devices.
His crude bomb hidden in a builder's bucket could have killed dozens but failed to properly detonate and sent a 'wall of fire' through the carriage at Parsons Green injuring at least 29 people including a ten-year-old boy.
A timer is understood to have been found on the device, suggesting the terrorist had got off at an earlier stop.
Terrified passengers were seen covered in blood with scorched hands, legs, faces and hair – others suffered crush injuries during a 'human stampede' as they 'ran for their lives' in west London at 8.20am.
Washington and London found themselves at loggerheads following the Manchester Arena bombing in May when US officials named the suicide bomber as Salman Abedi when British police were tight-lipped.
After the Barcelona terror attack last month an image of the chief suspect emerged within three hours. Source
