The first forensic account of the attack, ordered by Britain's Home Office, says the coordinated bombings of London's transport system were the product of a "simple and inexpensive" plot hatched by four British extremists bent on martyrdom.


The four suicide bombers killed 52 people and wounded hundreds.
