7/7 update - Ex arms fair firm behind Visor's 'exercise' at the 3 tube stations

19-10-2008 00:16

The wrong story - Tony Gosling reported on IRA bomb attacks for BBC's Greater London Radio in the early 1990s - but his assessment of the London bombings of 7th July 2005, due to be screened in October, has been shelved. Meanwhile further shocking facts are emerging almost unnoticed, an ex-arms fair company was in charge of an 'exercise' at the same three tube stations where the bombs actually exploded that day.
