Britain is on its highest ever state of alert amid fears of more attacks such as those which killed at least 49 people on London's transport system last week, The Times newspaper said Monday.
Security services, military and police were on "severe specific" alert, suggesting that authorities had precise intelligence of more attacks, the paper said.
British detectives are investigating the likelihood that the bombers all assembled at King's Cross, a central hub on the network, and then dispersed to create mayhem on the Circle and Piccadilly lines.
