London A Muslim artist has sparked outrage in the UK with his depiction of four angels flying above one of a bombed bus destroyed in the 7/7 terror attacks, which had left 13 people killed onboard.

The four angels depicted in his artwork resemble the same number of Al Qaeda terrorists who took part in the atrocity in 2005.

According to the Daily Mail, he has also drawn scores of ghostly souls shooting from the number 30 bus, which was travelling through Tavistock Square when it was attacked by suicide bomber Hasib Hussain.

Sickeningly, the £3,500 artwork, called Age of Shiva, is on display just one mile from where the 13 innocent commuters were killed as they travelled on the bus through central London.

The blast happened just after 9.45am on July 7, 2005 at the junction of Woburn Square and Tavistock Place.

The first of the four bomb attacks that day took place at around 8.50 am on a Circle line train travelling between Liverpool Street and Aldgate, the second explosion was on another Circle line train which had just left Edgware Road on the way to Paddington and the third of the Tube attacks happened on a Piccadilly line train travelling between King''s Cross St. Pancras and Russell Square, the paper said.

The incidents had left 52 people dead and injured over 700 hundred on London''s transport network.

Mark Sinckler, the artist behind the black and white artwork has said: “I want to shock.”

The paper quoted one of the relatives of a victim as saying that the artwork was ''unnecessary'' and ''upsetting'' to see.
