A one-minute silence has been observed in the UK to mark the tenth anniversary of the July 7th bombings that claimed the lives of more than 50 people. Meanwhile, questions are being raised now as to whether the country remains in more or less danger since the bombings ten years ago.

The attacks shocked the world. The July 7th bombings took the lives of 52 people and injured hundreds more. Today on it's tenth anniversary the country held a national one minute silence to remember the victims.

It's here outside the iconic St Paul's Cathedral a memorial HAS BEEN held remembering the victims of that day. David Cameron and Boris Johnson attended the service.

NAMES of all 52 victims that died WERE READ OUT. Since the bombing ten years ago there have been up to 50 attempted terror attacks on the UK according to the countries most senior counter terrorism officer. We asked the public whether they think another attack could take place here.

Since the Iraq war led by Tony Blair in 2003 The British government has denied there is any connection between it's foreign policy and the increase in radicalisation in the UK and abroad

As we remember the 7/7 attacks on London its clear that unless the UK changes it's foreign policy, we could potentially see another attack on home soil.
