"During the Blitz [1940-1941], the London Underground was a refuge....Last week [July 7, 2005], however, the London Underground was a scene of carnage, not shelter. Three terrorist bombs in the subways (a fourth blew up a bus) killed at least 49 people and wounded 700 more....The roots and execution of the London plot will tell us much about the nature of the terrorist threat we are facing four years after 9/11." (NEWSWEEK) This article reports on the London terrorist bombings and discusses who may be responsible, the search for the bombers, and the challenges to effective mass transit security.
