During the morning commute\u00a0hours\u00a0of Thursday, 7 July 2005, four Islamist extremists separately detonated three bombs aboard London Underground trains across the city, and later, a fourth on a double-decker bus.<\/p>\n
Having greatly enjoyed my time in London, during which I took extensive bus and underground journeys throughout the city, I was especially saddened.\u00a0How people can delude themselves to think that the\u00a0indiscriminate killing and maiming\u00a0of innocent, random members of the public could accomplish political or religious goals is beyond me.<\/p>\n
Fifty-two people ended up\u00a0killed, and over 700 more were injured in the attacks, making it Britain’s deadliest terrorist incident since the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.<\/p>\n
\nP.S. in 2017: It is astonishing\u00a0how Islamist terrorist attacks have now become such regular occurrences that the 2005 London bombings\u00a0are almost forgotten by the global community.<\/p>\n
