A sense of deja vu, but these bombs were aimed at tourists, shoppers and school children – TimesOnline
But whereas the bombs on July 7 targeted London?s commuters at the height of morning rush hour, killing 56 people, yesterday?s attacks seemed intended for very different victims: the tourists, shoppers and schoolchildren using the transport system at midday.
