Survey: 'government hasn't told truth about 7/7'

A quarter of Muslims polled think the authorities involved with staging the 7/7 London bombings.

It's a worrying picture that suggests a significant minority of British Muslims are alienated from the government and the security services.

A Channel 4 News survey of 500 British Muslims, carried out by GFK NOP, has found that nearly a quarter don't believe the four men identified as the London bombers were responsible for the attacks.

And a similar number say the government or the security services were involved. Nearly six in ten of those polled believe the government hasn't told the whole truth about the July the 7th bombings - and more than half say the intelligence services have made up evidence to convict terrorist suspects.

The findings come as Tony Blair told a London conference that the "true voice of Islam" needed to be heard - to isolate the extremists.

The Prime Minister went on to say that that most Muslims wanted to be "loyal citizens", despite the "disproportionate" public attention given to what he called "small, unrepresentative groups" of radicals. In this exclusive report,
