BUNGLING terror services failed to act on intel about two of the 7/7 bombers a YEAR before the attack, a crime gang whistleblower has revealed.
Retired accountant Paul Blanchard – who briefly worked for close associates of infamous criminal John “Goldfinger” Palmer between 1999 and 2001 – gave a fax to security services in 2004 naming bombing terrorists Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer.
A year later they were among four suicide bombers who blew up tube trains and buses in London, killing 52.
Today, in an exclusive interview on the 18th anniversary of the harrowing attacks, Paul explains how he believes the security services either failed to investigate or ignored his tip.
He said: “Someone has to answer to this. If they had followed my intel the attacks may not have happened.”
