7/7 Evidence 'Must Be Heard In Public'
Two High Court judges have upheld a ruling that rejects pleas from MI5 and the Home Secretary to hear top-secret 7 July evidence behind closed doors.
Earlier this month, Coroner Lady Justice Hallett rejected pleas to exclude relatives of the bombing victims from certain hearings.
However now Theresa May, Home Secretary, has lost the legal bid to force the 7 July inquest to hear top-secret evidence behind closed doors.
The evidence relates to the issue of whether the bombings were preventable.
