An interesting article re 7/7 London bombings

Take a read of this from the Guardian last year. "A computer expert who worked alongside two of the July 7 bombers claims today that he tried to warn the police about their activities almost two years before the suicide attacks."

I believe that the police and security services were not taking the threat from Islamic terrorists (home-grown or imported) seriously enough prior to 7/7 and that there has been a degree of covering up taking place. Tony Blair's refusal to hold an independent enquiry into the 7/7 bombings. After news emerged that two of the bombers had connections with a gang of would be bombers who were under MI5 surveillance and that this information had been kept from the jury in the trial of the plotters who were sent to jail for life, Mr Blair said the ISC had agreed to look again at the matter but he denied suggestions they had not been given all the information that was now available. He said a full-blown inquiry by an outside body would divert resources from the fight against the terrorist.

He added: ''It would also undermine support for the security services and I’m simply not prepared to do that.’’

Mr Blair said he understood the concerns of the survivors and the relatives of the bereaved on July 7."

Mr Blair does not understand the concerns of the survivors and relatives, I know (and know of) some of these people and they want to know why what happened, happened. They deserve better than to be lied to by this government.
