7 July 2005 London bombings
Some news stories a few hours after the attacks questioned the British government's statement that there had been no warning. It was reported by CBS News that a top Israeli government member said that British police told the Embassy of Israel in London minutes before the explosions that they had received warnings of possible terror attacks in London. An AP report used by a number of news sites, including The Guardian, said the early report of a warning was by an Israeli "Foreign Ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity". It said about Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom's later denial on Israel Defense Forces Radio: "There was no early information about terrorist attacks". A similar report on the website of right-wing Israeli paper Israel National News/Arutz Sheva said the story came from "Army Radio quoting unconfirmed reliable sources".
