Alleged suicide bomber ‘only staging protest’

The man thought to have tried to blow up a Tube train at Shepherd’s Bush, west London in the second wave of attacks on the capital’s transport system has been on peace marches and was protesting against the suffering of civilians in wars, said Antonietta Sonnessa.

She told ITV News from Italy: “My client says his action was purely demonstrative. In fact, all four attempts did not result in any injury or damage at all. Moreover, he maintains that he was nothing to do with the events of July 7.”
