THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Train stations across London have been put on high alert amid fears of a terrorist attack on transport hubs.
British Transport Police cancelled leave and called in extra officers after intelligence was received that terrorists could be planning attacks.
A security source said there was no “imminent” threat and the overall threat level had not changed but there was activity from one of a “handful” of extremist cells that cause concern at any time, leading to an adjustment in policing levels.
It is understood that “intelligence chatter” suggested that transport hubs in London could be a target. >>> Duncan Gardham, Security Correspondent | Thursday, January 06, 2011
