The London bombings of July 7, 2005 relied on three explosive devices within the underground transit system and one on a double-decker bus. Islamist suicide bombers detonated bombs worn in their backpacks, killing 52 people and injuring many hundreds more.
Immediately after the incident, a journalist from The Guardian filed an incorrect report based on a witness account. The journalist reported that it “was believed” there was an explosion “under the carriage of the train.” These accounts went unverified in the rush to convey any and all information as it came to light.
This initial report led to questions — and accusations of false flag attacks — when police later determined that the bombers carried explosives in their backpacks. Furthermore, the BBC aired the program Conspiracy Files, which covered alternative theories, most notably that the British Muslim bombers were framed by the government to create a backlash and justify the war in Iraq.

According to the official report, DNA identified the four suspects at the separate bomb sites; impact to the bodies showed they were all very close to bombs. The report forensically linked three of the men to the site where the bombs were made. Finally, it noted that a suspect appeared in a video confession that later aired on the Al Jazeera network, making the idea that these were false flag attacks particularly unlikely.
