Attack on London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers Review 2025 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
Through interviews with survivors, reporters, law enforcement and political figures like then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, the fateful morning of July 7, 2005 is described, including the horrific scenes at the site of the three tube bombings. One victim, then-26-year-old Dan Biddle, describes standing on the tube train next to a man with a backpack who was staring without blinking. Then there was a flash, and the train going off the track. He somehow survived, though there were body parts and charred remains of fellow passengers around him.
Almost four years since the 9/11 attacks in the U.S., many Brits were quick to turn on Islamic British citizens. There were attacks on mosques, and one survivor, Mustafa Kurtuldu, describes how BBC anchor Katty Kay asked him straight out how, because he was a practicing Muslim, how he feels that his religion is being used as a basis for these attacks. This was happening amid an investigation that hadn’t even pinpointed who executed these suicide bombings, much less why. But Islamophobia ran rampant.
On the government side, the question that Blair, who left a G8 summit after the bombings happened, and others needed answers for was who did it, even though answers to how M!5, MI6 and other intelligence agencies missed chatter about these attacks were to follow, as well. On the law enforcement side, when four young men with big backpacks were spotted on CCTV at King’s Cross station the morning of the bombings, their whereabouts were traced back to the Luton station, and the car they drove to the station was still there.
