★ 7/7 & 7th July 2005 London Bombings

I knew Mohammad Sidique Khan.  He was a good friend of mine.  The Sid that I knew was a good man.  The guy in the video I don’t know who that was.  Something was wiped from him.  Even the way he was speaking: I didn’t recognise the way he was speaking in those mind-numbing closed-down clichés.  It’s like a bad movie.  Al-Qaeda speak.  7/7: Homegrown Terror II, friend

 

The most complex crime scene is 30m below ground at Russell Square.  ibid.  caption

 

We didn’t know who the bomber was, but I had a good idea.  His body was mostly brains on the top of the carriage, which I scraped off.  ibid.  forensics guy  

 

Four addresses linked to Mohammad Sidique Khan are immediately placed under covert surveillance.  ibid.

 

I could tell that the bombers definitely weren’t a professional terrorist organisation.  ibid.  forensic guy re bomb factory

 

I know there was in excess of 100 explosive items removed.  ibid.

 

Islam is very easily hijacked or used by ignorant imams.  ibid.  former radical preacher

 

For over a year MI5 conducted Operation Crevice monitoring a group of extremists in Crawley.  ibid.  caption  

 

 

In 2002, Rashid Rauf left Britain for Pakistan and joined Al Qaeda.  He introduced 2 of the 7/7 bombers to a leader within Al Qaeda, known as Haji.  7/7: Homegrown Terror III, caption

 

8 months before the 7/7 bombings, Rauf arranged training for Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer.  ibid.

 

21 July 2005: The difference is that the devices failed to properly detonate.  And you have a number of suspects at large.  ibid.  comment

 

In addition to the 7/7 bombers, Rauf organised training for a second terror cell from the UK.  ibid.  caption

 

In 2007 a jury found all 4 men guilty of conspiracy to murder.  They were each sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 40 years.  ibid.
