The 7 July 2005 London bombings (also called 7/7) were suicide bomb attacks on public transport in London. British Muslim extremists did the attacks during the morning rush hour.
At 08:50 a.m. three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth exploded an hour later at 09:47 on a bus in Tavistock Square. The bombs were homemade. They were carried in rucksacks and set off by the bombers.
There were many memorials and services in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. The memorials remembered those who died in the attacks,[3] including a memorial in Hyde Park.[4] There were 56 people who died from the attacks, and over 700 people were hurt in the attack.[5][2]
