Security tightened at Heathrow
The British army has been drafted in to beef up security at Heathrow Airport amid ongoing terrorist threats to the capital, Scotland Yard said today.
Troops will guard the airport from today as part of a “strengthening of security” in London, a spokesman said.
He said the “precautionary” action was linked to fears that al-Qaida could use the end of the Muslim festival of Eid, which runs from tomorrow until Saturday, as a trigger for attacks.
