Possible Terrorist bombing in UK midlands..
BBC is reporting..
A "loud bang" near a mosque in the West Midlands is being treated as a terrorist incident.
A number of roads around Binfield Street in Tipton have been cordoned off after residents reported finding nails and debris in the area.
There are no reports of any injuries, West Midlands Police said.
The immediate area evacuated was a precautionary measure following the incident at about 13:00 BST, police said.
There is heightened security across the area at the moment.
It is very difficult to get through roads because so many have been shut off by police.
People passing by are really concerned and there is a state of confusion and disbelief about what has happened.
Witnesses reported hearing a loud bang just after one o'clock.
One person I spoke to said her mother had heard the noise but went back to what she had been doing because she could not believe anything serious would happen in the area.
A force spokesman said: "Police have been called to Binfield Street in Tipton this afternoon following reports of a loud bang.
"Some residents have reported finding debris in the area and finding nails.
"This is being investigated by forensic officers at the scene."
BBC WM reporter Steve Hermon, who is at the scene, said he had been told by passers-by that prayers at the mosque were usually held there at 13:00 BST but had been moved back an hour on this occasion.
Tipton councillor Ian Jones said he was "very shocked" at what had happened.
He said: "We have always had a stable relationship between different people in this community.
"This has always been a settled community where everyone lives together peacefully."
West Midlands Police are still investigating an explosion which occurred near a mosque in Caldmore in Walsall last month.
About 150 people were evacuated from homes near Aisha Mosque and Islamic Centre after a device was found in an nearby alleyway.
