Description
On July 7, 2005, bombs tore through London's trains and a bus, killing 52 people. The Security Council answered the same day with Resolution 1611. In it, the members condemn the attacks without reserve and send sympathy to the victims' families.
The text urges every country to help Britain bring the bombers, their planners, and their backers to justice. It repeats the Council's view that terrorism is a threat to peace everywhere, whatever its claimed cause. Brief and direct, the resolution is the world's formal voice speaking in the first hours after an attack.
