    Attempted Tube bomber jailed

    A Devon man who planted a home-made bomb on a busy tube train in London has been jailed for 15 years.

    Damon Smith from Newton Abbot packed a rucksack with explosives last October and left it in a carriage, timed to go off within minutes.

    The driver raised the alarm after it was handed in as lost property.

    The 20 year-old - who'd moved to London to study - has also been given an extended period of five years on licence following a trial at the Old Bailey.
