Supporters of ISIS are celebrating Friday`s terror attack at a London Subway station.
The Daily Mail reported that ISIS has stated that the attack -- an improvised bomb that exploded on a train, injuring 22 – has "demonstrated a weakness" in United Kingdom security, as noted in a tweet from SITE Intel Group, a non-governmental counterterrorism group.
The homemade bomb – hidden in a plastic bucket covered by a supermarket freezer bag – sent a "wall of fire" through a crowded subway train during London's morning rush hour.
In text messages seen by the U.K. Sun, terror supporters gloated about the attack at the Parsons Green station.
“It goes like, BOOM! Loud BOOM!” stated one text, which was followed by a heart emoji.
“Just terror,” reads another text, with two screenshots of television coverage of the attack.
Other texts branded Brits as weak while others encouraged whoever planted the bomb to “learn from their mistakes,” the Sun reported.
So far ISIS has not claimed responsibility for the attack.
