7/7 terrorist attacks

The 7/7 terrorist attacks occurred on July 7, 2005, in London, involving coordinated bombings on four London Underground trains and a double-decker bus during the morning rush hour. The bombings were carried out by a jihadist extremist group linked to al-Qaeda, aiming to sow chaos and fear. Eleven people died, including the four attackers, and hundreds were injured. These attacks marked the first deadly strike on London's public transport system by Islamist militants, prompting increased security measures and discussions about terrorism and counter-terrorism strategies.
