Twenty years after the devastating 7/7 London bombings, True Criminals returns with Part 2 of its powerful two-part special, uncovering the untold stories behind the UK’s deadliest terrorist attack since Lockerbie.
Back in the studio, Chris Webb — former Head of News and Deputy Director of Media & Communications at the Metropolitan Police — shares insider insight into the intense manhunt for the bombers’ accomplices and the chilling second wave of failed attacks on July 21st.
Go behind the scenes of the unprecedented counter-terror investigation, the pressure on frontline journalists, and the bold media strategy used to control information, protect the public, and manage a harrowing victim identification process involving over 1,000 human remains.
This episode also investigates the tragic killing of Jean Charles de Menezes, the Brazilian electrician mistakenly shot by police. Discover the ethical dilemmas faced by police and press, and the fragile trust tested during one of Britain’s darkest modern crises.
With never-before-heard accounts from those at the centre of the story, True Criminals delivers a powerful look at the legacy of 7/7, the evolution of UK counter-terror laws, and the impact on modern policing, journalism, and national security.
Listen now to the shocking conclusion of the 7/7 London Bombings special, Reporting Terror.
