MPs probe into terror attacks
An influential group of MPs is to look into issues surrounding the London bombings of July 7th and attempted bombings of a fortnight later.
Metropolitan police commissioner Sir Ian Blair will be one of those questioned in the investigation by the Commons home affairs committee on September 13th.
London mayor Ken Livingstone and the secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain will also attend the session, as will as yet unidentified government ministers.
Committee chairman John Denham, who quit his job as Home Office minister in protest against the Iraq war, will lead the questioning.
Topics likely to be raised at the session will be the Met’s shoot to kill policy, how prepared Britain is in terms of intelligence and policing, and the government’s proposed new terrorism offences.
