	7 July 2005 London bombings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A fourth bomb exploded on a bus at 9:47 a.m.
		The four explosions were widely reported as suicide bombings, but at the time the police would only confirm that they believed the bombers died in the bombings.
		The bombings were the deadliest attack in London since a V2 rocket killed 131 people in Stepney on 27 March 1945, near the end of World War II.

		Throughout the remainder of 1915 the Zeppelins raided London frequently, and with impunity.
		Four of them were lost carrying out bombing raids during the Battle of Verdun, and this marked the last use of airships for tactical bombing.
		The rest of the airships dropped their bombs on what they thought were "targets of opportunity", but in fact they dropped them in the sea.

	Suicide bombing feared in London attacks
		LONDON (Reuters) - Police identified four men on Tuesday whom they suspected of carrying out last week’s London bombings, raising the prospect that western Europe may have suffered its first suicide attack.
		The four men travelled to London on the day of the blasts and were seen on closed-circuit television carrying rucksacks at King’s Cross rail station shortly before 8:30 a.m, police said.
		Its Muslim population of around 30,000 is one of the largest in Britain, and in May 2001 it was one of several northern towns that saw rioting between south Asian and white youths blamed on ethnic, religious and racial divisions.

		Another is the statement of former Metropolitan London police commissioner Sir John Stevens that the perpetrators were 'almost certainly' British.

		It would also make the London attacks similar to the strategy-of-tension attacks in Madrid, where extreme right-wingers attempted to frame Muslims for a police attack in order to create racial tension.

		LONDON - At least six blasts rocked the London subway and tore open a packed double-decker bus during the morning rush hour Thursday, police said, killing at least two people and injuring nine, prompting officials to shut down the entire underground transport network.
		The near simultaneous explosions came a day after London was awarded the 2012 Olympics and as the G-8 summit was getting underway in Scotland.
		The simultaneity indicates this was an organized attack, and I highly doubt the G-8 tree huggers could plan so well as most of them are foreigners and their focus is Scotland, not London.

	livro aberto: Suicide Bombing - London Review of Books
		Suicide bombing is a recent phenomenon, but it's an illusion to believe that it's only in the mind of Islam that a link has been made between war and suicide, murder and martyrdom, killing the enemy and killing yourself.
		Dropping cluster bombs from the air is not only less repugnant: it is somehow deemed, by Western leaders at least, to be morally superior.
		It may indeed be that your desire to solve the problem is creating it, that burrowing into the psyche of the enemy, far from being an attempt to dignify them with understanding, is a form of evasion that blinds you to your responsibility for the state they are in.

	Editorial: Bombing London / Americans need to stand by the British (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Londoners are relatively phlegmatic about such things in any case, with experience behind them of the World War II blitz and of repeated bombings by the Irish Republican Army across the years.
		Whether it was al-Qaida or not, it is distinctly possible that the London carnage was related to British Middle East policy and the United Kingdom's continued participation in the Iraq war alongside the United States.
		The extent of the attacks makes it unlikely that the IRA carried them out, although extreme elements of that organization are still around and opposed to the approach to the issue of Northern Ireland taken by the British and Irish Republic governments and moderate political elements in the province itself.

		Chilling plans for a devastating bomb attack on the City of London have been discovered in a terrorist base in Afghanistan, revealing a sophisticated al-Qaeda training programme to spread its terror campaign to Britain.
		The blueprint is contained in a notebook written in clear English discovered by The Observer at an al-Qaeda camp in the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar.
		Written in note form - apparently as an aide-mémoire by the man who would construct the bomb - the language used suggests that the author was a British fundamentalist who prepared the document while training in the Sheragha Jama district of Kandahar, an area riddled with the former homes and compounds of al-Qaeda fighters.
