Fears over 7/7 footage at inquest
NEW video of the Tube trains ripped apart in the 7/7 bombings is to be released at the inquests for those who died a hearing was told yesterday.
But the Metropolitan Police raised concerns that the footage could be used by jihadists in terrorist propaganda. The material will be shown next week at the start of the inquests into the deaths of the 52 victims of the 7 July, 2005 attacks on London.
It includes CCTV of the four suicide bombers, photographs and video of the wrecked Tube carriages and No 30 bus after the devices were detonated, and extracts from calls to London Underground's control centre.
Hugo Keith, QC, told the pre-inquest hearing the material had been edited so as not to show any particularly distressing scenes. But Max Hill QC, for the Metropolitan Police, voiced fears it could be used on extremist websites for "cynical purposes".
