As the third anniversary of the botched 7/21 bombings approaches, the NEFA Foundation
is releasing a PowerPoint briefing, authored by NEFA Senior Analyst Josh Lefkowitz, titled, "The July 21, 2005 London Transport Bombings: An In-Depth Look at the Planning, Execution, and Failure of the Attack." Drawing on police surveillance photos, extensive CCTV footage, and other exhibits released by the Metropolitan Police Service during the course of the conspirators' trial, the report offers an unprecedented glimpse into the planning and execution of a terrorist attack. The briefing includes surveillance photos of the bombers training for jihad at a camp in Cumbria; pictures of the conspirators purchasing massive quantities of hydrogen peroxide; as well as images of their bomb factory, the interiors of the trains they attempted to blow up, their unexploded devices, and their flight from authorities. Further, the report documents the extensive support network that aided the bombers in the lead-up to and aftermath of the failed attack.
The report can be accessed via the NEFA Foundation website.
