London’s Metropolitan Police are gearing up for a second round:
BRITAIN’S terrorist alert has been raised to its highest-ever level because the London rush-hour bombers are alive and planning another attack, The Times has learnt.
Security services, military and police are on “severe specific” alert – the second highest status and higher than after the September 11 atrocities – after it emerged that the terrorists who killed as many as 70 people were not suicide bombers.
My brother was telling me there was a specific journalist/commentator who threw back the comment that the IRA was much better at this terrorism thing. Interesting comment, considering that the IRA has been known to train the ETA, FARC, HAMAS, Hezbollah, the PLO, and possibly al-Qaeda cells inside Venezuela and Colombia.
No news on American transportation systems though, but let’s keep in mind that for the millions and millions (billions?) of dollars we spend fighting terrorism, a handful of people with backpacks wrought the damage on July 7th. The best defense against terrorism is the eyes and ears of the average person.
