It was also "the day after the G8".

It was also "3 days after the Fourth of July".

Pretty meaningless.

Far more likely that it had some fool anniversary of some 7/7 historical event - but who cares. On that basis, every day is the anniversary of something.

If they had hit London some days BEFORE the Olympic committee announcement, as did the Madrid bombings, I would agree it had some correlation. It is more likely they erroneously thought that the announcement was supposed to be made on 7/8 than that they decided to hit the Olympic site the day after the announcement.

From earlier in the thread -

July 7, 1937: Peel Committee report recommends partitioning Palestine into Jewish state (33%) on best areas and one for Palestinian Arabs in addition to British protectorates including Jerusalem. Reports refers to forced transfer, if needed, of Palestinians from the 'Jewish' part.

Going further back in history (and a bit later in the thread)

July 7, 1124 Tyrus surrenders to Crusaders

They take their history seriesly over there.
