First coded bomb warning in London for 10 years
 

Uh ho I hope we dont go back to that again I know they have been getting more active over in Ireland just recently

A bomb threat for London has been issued by Irish dissidents in the first coded warning outside Northern Ireland in 10 years, officials say.

Whitehall officials said the call with the coded warning came from a number in the Irish Republic on Sunday evening.

The threat level for Northern Ireland-related terrorism, which stands at severe, has not been changed.

Streets around the Mall were closed on Monday morning in a security alert which police said was unrelated.

The warning comes ahead of the Queen's historic visit to the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday, amid a massive security operation.

The Metropolitan Police said the threat was not specific regarding location or time.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said in a statement: "All officers have been advised to be highly vigilant to ensure the safety of London."

The public were urged to go about their normal business but to look out for "unusual activity or behaviour".

Earlier on Monday, The Mall and Carlton House Terrace were closed after a security alert was sparked by a break-in at Carlton Gardens.

The break-in is thought to have taken place at 2 Carlton Gardens, which houses the Institute for Government think tank.

That is adjacent to the foreign secretary's residence, where William Hague is believed to have been at the time.

This news both angers and saddens me.


Mixed with about 10% disgust.

Oh lord, I really hope it is a blip. I loved that city way too much.

Yeah they blew up a policeman outside his house a few months back in Ireland and I sure hope it dont go back to the way it was before

Fucking hope not :(

This is nothing more than a criminal act. It's terrorism.

Fucking RETARDS and their bombs:mad:

I'm a pacifist, yet I want to shoot someone over this. :mad:

These people are no more terrorists than any government out there. When they don't like the way things are going somewhere they just go in and kill people. That's what we do now, people think it's the right thing to do and I feel no sympathy for the ones that die as a result. You Brits want to vote for war after war? Say hi to war.

i hope this won't happen. What's up with them?

fear and terror is not the answer! love is!

We don't vote for having a war http://i.imgur.com/K2Ph7.gif

The US government used to allow the IRA to fund raise in the US.
Bombing London didn't bother you before. Why should it now?
