THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Police are being trained by the SAS and armed with more powerful weapons to prepare for a possible Mumbai-style terror attack in the UK.
Security chiefs are staging a series of counter-terrorism exercises with police sharpshooters training alongside special forces units, the BBC said.
The development follows the interception last month by British intelligence officials of a credible al-Qaeda-linked plot.
That would have reportedly been similar to the deadly commando-style raids in Mumbai, India, two years ago, which left 166 people dead and several hundred injured.
Cities in France and Germany were also targeted as part of the plot. >>> | Tuesday, October 26, 2010
