Terror Suspect Played Poker Pre-attack on London Tube Station

Damon Smith, a 19 year old suspected of planting a bomb in a London tube station Oct. 20, was playing poker the day before the attack, reported The Sun.

Smith won £500 in an online poker tournament, with a neighbor telling The Sun he stayed up until 4 a.m. playing poker on his computer.

Smith had just moved to London with his mother and is being held by the police over a “viable device” at the North Greenwich station on the Jubilee Line train he allegedly left there on Thursday.

The police removed the device, which was linked to a suspicious item found by Met Police officers in Newton Abbot, Devon, and a controlled explosion was carried out by the British Transport Police, reported Sky News.
