It comes after the Prime Minister last night announced Britain's terror threat has been raised to the peak level amid fears the bombing could inspire copycat attacks. Security minister Ben Wallace said today the threat level has been raised to critical because a new attack is likely to be 'imminent'. His words come as armed police have flooded London's streets.
The introduction of Operation Temperer will see soldiers replacing police at key United Kingdom{UK} sites including nuclear power plants to free up extra armed officers for regular patrols in London. Officers are hunting for the terror suspect across the capital amid claims he could be armed and may have planted other explosive devices. His crude bomb hidden in a builder's bucket could have killed dozens but failed to properly detonate and sent a 'wall of fire' through the carriage at Parsons Green injuring at least 29 people including a ten-year-old boy.
