Today marks the 20-year anniversary of the most lethal terrorist attack on British soil of this century so far: the 7/7 London Bombings. It was the first Islamist suicide attack in the UK, and the deadliest act of terror since the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. Even though I was a 15-year-old schoolboy at the time, I remember the 7/7 attacks as if they were yesterday. Fifty-two people were murdered, with a further 784 injured, by four jihadists: Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Shehzad Tanweer and Germaine Lindsay. Three were British-born sons of Pakistani Muslim migrants, with the other being a Jamaica-born convert to Islam.
