On July 7, 2005 four bombs exploded on the London mass transit system; three on trains in the London Underground, and one on a double decker bus. The bombings were the worst attack on London since World War II. Five years later, on October 27, 2010, Farooque Ahmed was arrested in Virginia for planning a similar attack on the DC Metro. The DOD possesses capabilities and vast knowledge that can be used to enhance civil authority response to attacks. By leveraging DOD assets, emergency responders can build on the lessons learned from the London bombings instead of repeating the mistakes.
