Another curious co-incidence, the 7 July 2007 (perhaps the last date of the 2007 BT trial) was the second anniversary of the
London Tube bombing on 7 July 2005.
This CBS article
'Was London Bomb Plot Heralded On Web?' 29 June 2007 sets some of the context, you might recall there was a failed terrorist attack in London's Haymarket. The following day, 30 June 2007, the
Glasgow airport attack occurred. The UK was then on critical/severe security alert, and still is.
All of which is, at this point in time,
purely co-incidence, I've no information to suggests otherwise.
