A regional daily commemorated the 10th anniversary of the London bombings with a special eight page report questioning whether any lessons from the atrocity have been learned a decade on.

Today’s edition of the Yorkshire Evening Post posed the question on its front page, accompanied by headshot photographs of the four bombers responsible for the 7/7 terrorist attack.

The 2005 attacks on three London Underground trains and a bus claimed the lives of 52 innocent people and three of the suicide bombers – Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer and Hasib Hussain – had links to the YEP’s patch in Leeds.

An editorial in the YEP described how “West Yorkshire was thrust into the national and international spotlight” when the bombers’ identities were revealed.

It read: “Terror was brought to our shores in a way we had never seen before. It was our version of the 9/11 bombings in New York, brutally brought into murderous reality in our capital city.

“Three of the terrorists had come from the small communities of Beeston and Dewsbury – a revelation that shocked so many from here. Those communities wrongly became linked with Jihadists, terrorism, Islamaphobia.”

The paper went on to say that while those communities affected have become stronger in the 10 years since, British society had largely failed to prevent terrorism.

“If we need proof of this failed policy, we need to look no further than a major report given to this newspaper that asks the views of young Muslims today. They believe politicians and policy makers simply do not understand what needs to be done,” it said.

The editorial argued that young British Muslims had been “defined” by the atrocity, and that the language used by the government had served to deepen the sense of disengagement.

“Schools are told to identify people who are vulnerable to being wooed by the terrorists, the media spin exaggerates the few who have gone to Syria rather than reflect the great work taking place in their communities. Unless we listen to our young people, unless we make them feel as accepted as any other British person, we will not learn the lessons,” it said.

Other regional newspapers to reflect on the tragedy include The Star, Sheffield, and Newcastle dailies The Chronicle and The Journal, which tweeted images of their front pages from the time.

The Star’s website reproduced its city final edition from the day, featuring the an injured woman emerging from a tube station, her face covered in a dressing.

“The bombings were a huge national tragedy, the deadliest terror attacks ever on British soil. Events in London that July day were of such magnitude that The Star devoted seven pages of that evening’s edition to coverage of the bombings,” said the paper.

“Today, 10 years on, the country will pause to remember the terrible events of that day and those who were tragically killed.”
