Hey all, I found some information stating that some people in london received letters from the defense ministry informing them that Missiles will be
placed ontop their roof. Likewise, a small group of about 10 soldiers would be present as well. One article states that it is: Residents in the
private, gated flats in Bow, east London
Residents are being told that these would be fired as a last resort.
The reason they are told that it/these will be in place is to prevent terrorism at the upcomming olympics.
Recently, various 'terrorism' related news has been springing up and new discoveries are being made
www.independent.co.uk...
Thus far I have not found anything that stands out that would require these sorts of measures to be taken. Has anyone else heard of this?
Here are my sources:
www.telegraph.co.uk...
rt.com...
uk.reuters.com...
www.usatoday.com...
Among that, I found some rumors of an underground base of operations for this as well and was interested in that. I did some research and found some
denied claims and some confirmed ones. In searching that, I also found that Scotland Yard’s CO19 wing will be present armed with pistols and night
vision.

That article also confirms the bunker.

It appears that this will be handled on the Thames River, where they may be deployed from this bunker to respond to any terror.
www.telegraph.co.uk... is stating that they
may respond both via land and air, and will be observing via air for any threats in addition to ground troops that will be present.
I was interested in what kind of training has been taking place. I could not find much on evacuation plans as of yet.
travel.usatoday.com... Discusses that london hotels are
training their staff in identifying terrorists / suspects to prevent any events. Likely they will be able to report this so that a terrorist suspect
may be investigated / detained.
presstv.com...
States that " 23,000 guards will be watching the games venues as the world sports spotlight turns to London between July 27 and August 12, while
another 13,000 soldiers will hit the streets."
www.washingtonpost.com...
Is stating that local food vendors will also be trained in detecting and reporting terrorist suspects. In the next article of the same topic, it is
confirmed to be held by the Metropolitan Police and Westminister Council.
www.guardian.co.uk...
There has been a £600 million budget put into place to 'keep the games safe'. I feel a lot of this is unnessicary and a waste of the locals money.
I do not know what I would do if someone set up missiles ontop my residence. I am researching now what kind of detainment plans are in place. They
even have the local food vendors keeping an eye out.
