    Police are hunting four suspected bombers after Thursday's London blasts that injured one person.

    The bombers fled after detonators went off, causing small blasts, but failed to detonate the bombs.

    "One of them (policemen) was carrying a black handgun -- it looked like an automatic -- they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him," said another witness.

    Shortly after the shooting, armed police have surrounded a Mosque in east London, Sky news reported. No further details were available now.   Enditem
