13 July 2005: The Bombers Identified, The Report Censored

1) Censoring Crucial Information

Now that the police have identified at least three of the four bombers who struck London last Thursday as young British Muslim men, the question of how British Muslims could become so alienated as to carry out such a horrific attack has come to the centre of political and public attention.

In this context, it is absolutely extraordinary that the most authoritative source of information about this crisis, the joint Home Office and Foreign Office report, ‘Young Muslims and Extremism’, which was leaked to the Sunday Times and published with a front-page headline three days ago, has been entirely censored from today’s coverage and commentary in the serious British newspapers.
