Jury views ‘would-be suicide bombers’ blast attempts

THE dramatic moments when four would-be suicide bombers tried and failed to detonate their home-made rucksack bombs on three Tube trains and a bus were described in court yesterday.

One was blown into the air, one was knocked to the floor while another sent passengers recoiling in fear as, in each case, the detonator fired but the main charge failed to explode.

Their alleged attempts to detonate the bombs on July 21, 2005, caused panic on the London transport system just two weeks after the July 7 terror attacks.
