A BRADFORD man who was injured in the London nail bombings of 1999 has spoken about his experiences for a BBC radio documentary ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks.

Jonathan Cash was inside the Admiral Duncan pub, in the heart of London's gay community, when a bomb exploded just feet away from him.

Jonathan - who can be seen in a picture taken in the chaotic aftermath of the bombing - survived the horror.

Aged 30, he suffered a number of injuries to his face, shoulder, hands and legs.

It was the third nail bomb attack inside two weeks in London, killing Andrea Dykes, 27, who was pregnant, Nik Moore, 31, and John Light, 32.

The first happened on April 17, the second was on April 24 and the third occurred on April 30.

Nearly 150 people were injured in the three bombings, which targeted the capital's gay, black and Bangladeshi communities.

The crimes were carried out by David Copeland, a self-confessed racist and homophobe, who was given six life sentences in 2000.

Now, Jonathan has contributed to a BBC Radio 4 documentary about the tragedy.

Fragments will be broadcast at 7.15pm this Sunday.

A spokesperson for the 30-minute documentary said: "It's 25 years since London suffered three vicious nail bomb attacks - holdalls filled with four-inch nails and hand-made explosives planted in Brixton market, Brick Lane and in the bar of the Admiral Duncan pub in Soho, intended to cause damage to those in the immediate vicinity and to the notion of a tolerant, diverse capital city.

"The attacks are recorded in photographs shared at the time by the press.

"Fragments looks again at these images to consider what it means for an instant to be captured and to endure in our memories and understanding of traumatic events."

Jonathan spoke to the Telegraph & Argus last month about his experiences.

Recalling that night, he said: "I went into Soho to meet a couple of friends.

"I walked into the Admiral Duncan and I went to order a pint of lager.

"My foot actually touched what I later found out was the bag he (Copeland) had left."

The Admiral Duncan bomb, a homemade device of fertiliser and nails, exploded at 6.37pm.

"It was the loudest, most alien noise I've ever heard - it ripped through the building," Jonathan said.

"It was horrifying."

Jonathan said it took him several years to rebuild his life after the bombings.
