The Washington Post says the suspect had no explosives on him:  "Police 
officials told British reporters that the officers feared that the man, who 
was wearing a thick coat despite warm weather, had explosives concealed on 
his body and was about to detonate them amid the crowd in the station. They 
acknowledged that they found no bomb on the body."
