Well, it has happened again.
Another round of terrorist attacks have taken place in the UK, with two car bombs in London's West End last night that failed to detonate, followed by two men who were arrested this afternoon after a blazing car was driven at the main terminal building at Glasgow Airport. The car was packed with propane gas cylinders (similar to the London car bombs).
Only through the grace of God does it appear that death and injury has been avoided. If the terrorists aim was to intimidate, then it has worked...to a degree. Police are now reviewing security arrangements for events taking place over the weekend, including today's Concert for Diana. Furthermore, the UK has been placed on its highest level of terrorism alert - Critical - meaning an attack is expected imminently.
However the Gay Pride march went ahead in central London yesterday and was well attended - the best response to those hoping to inspire fear. London is our city and we should not be stopped or intimidated by terrorists.
UK terror threat now 'critical'
