Attack is inevitable, say the police. So how can we stop it?
British Government officials sense that a terrorist strike on a major British city is only a matter of time, with London the prime target, according to an article in The Independent.
[...] "The fact that terrorists are believed to have used mobile phones to detonate the Madrid bombs has led to calls for London Underground to rethink plans to enable their use in deep tunnels. "Texting is a luxury, security is not," said Simon Hughes, the Liberal Democrat mayoral candidate for London, but the Underground says no decision has been made.
"There have also been reports that the security services have started "jamming" mobile phones in the vicinity of Tony Blair, to prevent a potential attack on the Prime Minister".
