Abstract
On Thursday, July 7, 2005, a coordinated suicide terrorist attack was carried out at the heart of London's transport system during the morning rush hour. The chaos began following the first report of an explosion at 8:50 a.m., with two further explosions on London's underground system and one bus bomb, killing 52 innocent people and the 4 suicide bombers. All four of the bombers were British Muslim men, three of Pakistani and one of Jamaican descent. The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) was the responding force, with large numbers of officers attending the incident sites, with support from SO13 Anti-Terrorist branch and British Transport Police (BTP). This incident is now commonly referred to as 7/7.
