Britain remembers today the multi -day terrorist attacks of 7 July 2005 in London, with 52 dead and more than 700 injured.

On the morning of that day, four British Islamists, inspired by al -Qaeda, triggered explosive mechanisms in three subway trains and a double bus in the center of the British capital.

The attack took place 20 years since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on Twin Towers, and was described as the “September 11” of Europe.

Many memory events are scheduled in London today, including a function at St. Paul’s Cathedral.

The message of King Charles

On the occasion of the sad anniversary, King Charles called on the citizens to remain united “against those who will seek to divide us” and Prime Minister Kir Starmer emphasizes that the British “were united then and are united now”.

Twenty years later “we think with deep sadness of the 52 innocents who were killed in these irrational acts of evil and the constant pain of their relatives,” King Charles said in a statement.

“The spirit of unity was what helped London and our nation to heal,” he added, saying that the attacks have shown the importance “to build a society where people of every religion and origin can live with mutual respect and understanding.”

“Those who tried to divide us failed. We were united then and we are now united against hatred and in favor of the values ​​that define us: freedom, democracy and the rule of law, “Starmer said.

The British Prime Minister paid tribute “to the bravery of emergency treatment, survivor power and the unity of Londoners over terror.”

Interior Minister Ivet Cooper stressed Sunday on Sunday Mirror that Islamist and Right Extremism today remain “the biggest threats” to Britain.
