Why was London attacked on 7th July 2005?
Why were the attacks not prevented? Initial government responses claimed the
Islamist terrorists were 'clean skins', previously unknown to the security
services; therefore more staff and more severe anti-terror measures are needed
to prevent future attacks.  But there are
great discrepancies in the government's account of events leading up to 7/7, in
particular Operation Crevice.  Moreover,
British 'security' policies at home and abroad have systematically undermined
public safety for over the last decade. 
Meanwhile, 'anti-terror' powers are serving to divert attention and
resources from real threats of terrorist attacks in this country.

 

This critique has been developed in a parliamentary
briefing paper, Inside the Crevice.  In August 2007 it was circulated to members of several UK parliamentary
committees, including the Intelligence & Security Committee, Home Affairs
Committee, Defence Committee, Foreign Affairs Committee, Joint Human Rights
Committee, and Communities & Local Government Committee, as well as
ministers and government officials. 

 

The report is cited in the pre-action protocol letter
drafted by Oury Clark Solicitors on behalf of the 7/7 Inquiry Group, sent to
the Home Secretary. It is also cited in their application for judicial review
of the government's decision not to hold an inquiry into the London bombings.
Key themes and questions raised in the report, which calls for radical reform
of British security policies, will be discussed at this event.
