LONDON, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- A London firefighter and other witnesses to a bungled bombing on an underground train described their experiences Tuesday at the accused terrorists' trial.
Angus Campbell, who was on his way to a fire department training center, told the jury that the first thing he remembers after the explosion is seeing alleged bomber Ramzi Mohammed with smoke coming from his back, The Guardian reported.
The bombings on July 21, 2005, came exactly two weeks after the deadly July 7 blasts, when scores of people were killed and hundreds wounded on the London Underground and a bus.
Campbell described escorting a mother and baby to the next car, leaving him alone with Mohammed.
"I thought he was actually in pain," Campbell said. "I thought he was a victim. He said: 'This is wrong, this is wrong.' He was gesturing to the debris on the floor. There was a large amount of debris. He was gesturing to it and saying: 'This is wrong, it's wrong.'"
Campbell and other witnesses described Mohammed running from the car as soon as the train pulled into a station, and their attempts to catch him.
