CORONER Lady Justice Hallett will announce the inquest verdicts on the 7/7 bombings on May 6.

The inquest into the deaths of the 52 innocent victims of the suicide bombings on three Tube trains and a bus in London on July 7 2005, concluded earlier this month.

The inquest, which was held at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, began in October and heard evidence from 309 witnesses about the devastation and deaths caused by the four terrorists.

The bombings were carried out by Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, of Dewsbury, Jermaine Lindsay, 19, a former Rawthorpe High School student, Shehzad Tanweer, 22, and Hasib Hussain, 18.

The bombs were the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil.

As well as killing the 52 victims and themselves, the bombers injured more than 700 people.

The inquest has looked at whether there were lessons to be learned from the aftermath of the bombings and also into alleged failings of police and intelligence services in not detecting the four terrorists before their deadly attack.

In February, MI5 expressed “profound regret” for failing to prevent the 7/7 bombings.

One of the Security Service’s most senior officers told the inquest that every member of the agency lamented the fact that plot ringleader Mohammed Sidique Khan was not fully investigated before the atrocities.
