Netflix Docuseries Revisits 2005 London 7/7 Suicide Bombings Killing 52, Injuring 700

The Netflix four-part docuseries Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers revisits the July 7, 2005 terrorist bombings in London, which killed 52 people and injured nearly 700 others. The series provides a detailed timeline of the coordinated suicide attacks on the city's public transport system, highlighting the planning and execution by four young men, including Mohammad Sidique Khan and Germaine Lindsay. Besides focusing on the tragic bombings, the documentary explores a subsequent failed attack on July 21, 2005, where homemade bombs failed to detonate, leading to a massive manhunt and eventual arrests of the perpetrators. The series features firsthand accounts from survivors, law enforcement, political figures such as then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, and explores the widespread Islamophobia and public fear following the attacks. It also sheds light on the UK's largest criminal investigation and reflects on the long-term consequences of these attacks on London and its citizens. The documentary is praised for its sensitive, in-depth approach, avoiding dramatization and focusing on survivor testimonies and official insights.
