Below are several images of London.....
But I would be remiss if I did not mention the September 15,
2017 rush hour terror blast on the Underground at Parsons Green in which 22
persons were injured, some burned seriously. This jihadist attack involved an
improvised explosive device in the form of a “bucket bomb” with nails and a
timer. Fortunately the bomb failed to detonate properly to do its fullest damage. Isis
claimed responsibility for the attack.
Quite immediately, the prime minister raised the terrorist threat
to its highest level, Critical. The government is now deploying soldiers and additional
armed (many heavily armed) police on to London’s streets. Street cameras are
evident throughout London monitoring everyone’s activity. As of this moment,
and as reported in the press, an 18-year old Syrian refugee has been arrested.
And a second suspect was taken into custody on the day we arrived home.
Our American-owned hotel, feeling itself vulnerable, began
screening and searching persons entering the lobby. In addition, it closed off
its circular driveway.
