7/7 Victims Unlawfully Killed
A coroner has said that delays in the emergency services', attending to those caught up in the 7/7 London bombings victims, did not cause the deaths of 52 people.
However during the inquest, Lady Justice Hallett highlighted flaws in the actions carried out by the emergency services and MI5.
She outlined nine recommendations that aimed to "save lives", and formally ruled that the victims had been unlawfully killed.
Further inquiries, or inquests on the bombers have now been ruled out.
The suicide attacks also injured over 700 people back in 2005.
