IT has been over two years now since the 7/7 bombings in London and the Government has decided it is time for a review of our terror legislation. It was the 7/7 bombings that prompted the initial review two years ago, when the Government were pushing to be able to hold terror suspects for up to 90 days without charge (from the 14 days it was at the time). The announcement by Gordon Brown in the Queenís speech, to review the legislation, coincides with the rulings from the Jean Charles de Menezes case. Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead in Stockwell tube station in July 2005 following police operations in the wake of the 7/7 bombings.
