The family of a Jewish woman who was killed in the July 7 bombings in 2005 are launching a website in her name. It will mark the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks by British Islamits that killed 52 people in London.

Miriam Hyman was killed in the Tavistock Square bus blast after she had been evacuated from King's Cross station and had called her father to say she was safe.

Three other suicide bomb attacks took place that day, all on London Underground trains across the city.

Miriam's family have recently launched the website, Miriam's Vision, in her memory and in response to the bombings. Her sister Esther Hyman
said: "The website will be a resource for teachers of 11-14-year-olds, using Miriam's story as a starting point to discuss the consequences of terrorist violence, and provide a positive narrative."
