Terror Level Raised To 'Critical' In London



Daily Mail: Soldiers drafted in and extra armed police on the streets as Theresa May raises terror level to CRITICAL after ISIS claim Tube bucket-bomb attack was carried out by a cell of several jihadis

* Soldiers will replace police at key locations out of public view so more armed police can go onto the streets
* Scotland Yard has identified the suspect behind the rush hour blast on District Line train at Parsons Green
* Manhunt underway for bomber amid fears he may have left other devices and could be armed with knives
* Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the west London attack saying its 'soldiers' had 'planted IEDs'
* IED had timer attached meaning terrorist probably exited at an earlier station but bomb failed to detonate
* Bloodied and burned commuters 'ran for their lives' after explosion on London Underground this morning

Armed police have flooded London's streets as the terror threat level was raised to critical amid fears the Parsons Green bomber could strike again, Theresa May announced tonight.

The introduction of Operation Temperer will see soldiers replacing police at key sites including nuclear power plants to free up extra armed officers for regular patrols.

Scotland Yard said it is making 'excellent' progress in hunting the suspected terrorist who set off a crude bucket bomb on a packed commuter train by Parsons Green tube station in west London at 8.20am.

Mrs May said in a statement from Number 10: 'The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre has now decided to raise the national threat level from severe to critical - this means their assessment is that a further attack may be imminent.'

Theresa Mae allowed the terror level to go up this summer. Two weeks later she brought it down and they immediately got attacked.

Now she is raising it up again.

Theresa Mae is like a yoyo. However, the comparison is unfair to the yoyo.

There is a lot of hate among Muslim for anyone not Muslim in London. I've seen it.

If you are all non-political and just want to see the Sherlock Holmes Museum, think again.

It is just down the block from a major mosque.

The flyers posted at the intersection of A5205 and Park Road are exquisite!
