Education bosses in Scotland warned of anti-Muslim bullying in schools after July 7 terror attack

EDUCATION bosses in Scotland were warned of anti-Muslim bullying in schools after the July 7 terrorist attack, new documents have revealed.

National Records of Scotland released a number of cabinet papers from 2005, including the reaction of the then Scottish Executive to the bombing of the London transport network which killed 52 people and injured more than 700.

In the wake of the attack — the deadliest in Britain since the Lockerbie bombing in 1988 — Scottish communities minister Malcolm Chisholm held a number of meetings with people from the Muslim community to discuss its concerns.
