July 7th 2005 London Bombings

Key Quotes and Comments:

The Home Office and the Intelligence and Security Committee released reports into the attacks on 11th May 2006. See here for reports analysis

The investigation has encountered several false leads. Numerous stories reported in the media have not been confirmed or even commented on by Scotland Yard. It does often appear that the media get these reports from their 'security sources' before the police get them. The police have given information which has later turned out to be false. Often details provided have never been clarified, concluded or even mentioned again.

Details of forensics have been in very short supply. Police have released hardly any evidence regarding explosives, DNA, cctv or eyewitness testament. Thousands of cctv tapes have been seized, hundreds of witness statements have been recorded. It is peculiar that so few images have been released (cctv) and also strange that so few witnesses to the four men have been reported. (witnesses)

Why don't the 'security sources' who keep passing information to the press make their information 'official' to the public?
