Role of emergency services in July 7 blasts challenged

THE family of a woman killed in the July 7 attacksin London questioned whether the emergency services could have saved her after learning she survived for 45 minutes after the blast.

For five years, relatives assumed Behnaz Mozakka, 47, died instantly when suicide bomber Jermaine Lindsay, 19, blew himself up on a Tube train between King’s Cross and Russell Square.

But a fortnight ago they discovered she was in fact conscious after the explosion and even spoke to a police officer, a pre-inquest hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in central London was told.
