SENIOR intelligence officials initially dismissed suggestions the 7 July bombings were al-Qaeda linked, it has been claimed.
Chris Driver-Williams, a former senior analyst for the defence intelligence staff, said his claim provoked laughter at a meeting on the morning of the bombings. "This was by people in the intelligence community who knew their onions," he said.
A parliamentary report on the bombings is due out today.
