12 July In the early morning, the police search premises in the West
Yorkshire area, including the homes of Khan, Tanweer and Hussain
and 18 Alexandra Grove.
Report received that 4 people by two vehicles were seen putting on
rucksacks at Luton Station car park. One of the vehicles was now
missing but one remained in the car park.
By lunchtime, police working on the theory that there is a King’s
Cross link to the 3 train bombs, all being broadly equidistant from
there at the time of the explosions, identify a CCTV image of 4 men
with rucksacks at King’s Cross. They recognise Tanweer first from a
DVLA photograph.
The police identify CCTV images of the same 4 at Luton Station.
The Micra is found at Luton and examined. 9 controlled explosions
were carried out on material found in it. The Brava, which had been
towed away because it did not have a parking ticket is later traced to
Lindsay. There had been a report on the Police National Computer
that the Brava may have been used in an aggravated burglary (see
paragraph 69) and Lindsay was named as the registered keeper for
the car.
There was at the time of the attacks, reports of a “5th bomber”. It
was thought, because of witness statements and CCTV, that there
was a “5th man” with the group travelling down from Luton. Inquiries
showed the individual was a regular commuter and he was
eliminated from the inquiry. Also in the period immediately following
the attacks, one man was arrested in connection with the
investigation but he was released without charge. In subsequent
weeks, a further man who had claimed to be the “5th bomber” was
also arrested and later charged with wasting police time. There is no
intelligence to indicate that there was a fifth or further bombers.

06.49: The Micra arrives at Luton and parks next to the Brava. The 4 men
get out of their respective cars, look in the boots of both, and appear
to move items between them. They each put on rucksacks which
CCTV shows are large and full. The 4 are described as looking as if
they were going on a camping holiday.
One car contained explosive devices of a different and smaller kind
from those in the rucksacks. It is not clear what they were for, but they
may have been for self-defence or diversion in case of interception
during the journey given their size; that they were in the car rather
than the boot; and that they were left behind. Also left in the Micra
were other items consistent with the use of explosives. A 9mm
handgun was also found in the Brava. The Micra had a day parking
ticket in the window, perhaps to avoid attention, the Brava did not.

THE MORNING OF 7 JULY
1. July 2005 in the UK started with a strongly positive feel. On 6 July London
won the competition to host the 2012 Olympic Games. A few days earlier the
Live 8 concerts had sent an unprecedentedly powerful message to world
leaders about poverty in Africa. On 7 July, G8 leaders1 were meeting in
Gleneagles.
2. 7 July began unsettled, with heavy showers in places. The early morning
rush in London started as normal. There were some delays that morning on the
Underground, including – significantly – on the Northern Line. Then, at about
8.50am there were 3 almost simultaneous explosions – the first in a Circle Line
tunnel between Liverpool Street and Aldgate stations, the second on the Circle
Line just outside Edgware Road and the third in a Piccadilly Line tunnel
between King’s Cross and Russell Square. At 9.47am, there was a fourth
explosion on the upper deck of a no 30 bus in Tavistock Square. 56 people,
including the bombers, died in the attacks and more than 700 were injured.
3. There is now a fuller – but still incomplete – picture of the bombers’
movements on the day from CCTV and witness accounts. The following
summarises what is known:
03.58: A light blue Nissan Micra is caught on CCTV in Hyde Park Road,
Leeds, prior to joining the M1 outside Leeds. This car was hired by
Shehzad Tanweer and is believed to have been carrying Tanweer,
Mohammad Sidique Khan and Hasib Hussain. Hyde Park Road is
close to 18 Alexandra Grove – the flat which appears to have been
the bomb factory.
04.54: The Micra stops at Woodall Services on the M1 to fill up with petrol.
Tanweer goes in to pay. He is wearing a white T-shirt, dark jacket,
white tracksuit bottoms and a baseball cap. He buys snacks,
quibbles with the cashier over his change, looks directly at the CCTV
camera and leaves.
There is a large sign stating, 'No Right Turn', but clearly the cyclist is excluded from that!
What a complete and utter twat on the bike.
You hit the car and you deserved what happened to you.
You are lucky they did not beat the shit out of you - which you deserved.
Used up two disabled parking spaces and didn't need them at all, she didn't even have a blue badge.
