7/7 London bomber turned me into a lesbian, says lover

The lover of one of the 7/7 bombers has told how his suicide mission made her a lesbian hooked on booze.

The Daily Star quoted Nicki Pike, 23, as saying that she could never trust another man after married dad Germaine Lindsay secretly plotted the mass murder.

The 19-year-old, who killed 26 people on a Piccadilly Line Tube train, wanted her to go with him on his fateful trip in 2005.

Nicki, who was just 17 at the time and had no idea what he was planning, decided not to go at the last minute.

She was horrified when she learned Lindsay was one of the four men who killed 52 people on the London transport network.

The experience turned her into a depressed alcoholic, and she fled her home in Aylesbury, Bucks, where she met Lindsay, after receiving Internet threats from al-Qaida sympathisers.

She now works at a holiday park on the Isle Of Wight with her partner Holly, 20, whom she plans to wed.
