   This  photo  provided  by  ABC News purports to show the interior of a
   London  commuter  train  after  a bomb attack on July 7, 2005, between
   London's Kings Cross and Russell Square stations. This particular bomb
   attack, one of four that day, killed 27 people.

   Survivors  and  relatives  of  victims are privately marking the fifth
   anniversary  of  the  terrorist  attacks  on London's public transport
   system.
   No   official  events  are  planned  to  commemorate  the  anniversary
   Wednesday.   A  spokeswoman for the Department for Culture, Media and
   Sport  said  none  of  the families contacted the agency to ask for an
   official ceremony.
   British Prime Minister David Cameron is sending a wreath to a memorial
   in  London's  Hyde  Park  honoring  the  52  people killed in the 2005
   suicide bombings.  The monument consists of 52 steel pillars, one for
   each of the victims.
   Suicide  bombers set off coordinated explosions in three subway trains
   and  a  bus  in  the  British  capital on the morning of July 7, 2005,
   nearly  four  years  after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in
   the United States. Â
