"You can never over-estimate the value of a briefing from overseas partners,"
Hayman said on Saturday. "We wanted to be joined up because this type of
terrorism affects the world."
Officers from 32 countries including France, Italy, Australia, Israel, the
Czech Republic, Japan, the Netherlands, Turkey, the United States and
Switzerland are attending the summit. They also include a delegation from Spain,
whose officers are hoping to share knowledge gleaned after the Madrid bombings.
One security source said: "We learnt after Madrid that it is important to get
a scrum down early on and swap information."
The emergency meeting comes after Italian police arrested 142 people on
Saturday as part of an anti-terror operation in Milan, which was launched almost
immediately after the London attack. One and a half kilograms of explosive were
recovered in raids involving more than 2,000 Carabinieri and directly aimed at
boosting security at underground stations in the city.
Later it emerged that an unknown al-Qaida group, which last week claimed
responsibility for the London bombings on a website, had threatened Italy and
Denmark with similar attacks, although its credibility has been questioned.
Meanwhile, in Dubai a group claiming links to al-Qaida also revealed in an
Internet statement that it was behind the London attacks. "A group of mujahideen
from the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades delivered one blow after the other in the
infidels' capital, the capital of the English," said the statement signed by the
group. It is the third such claim by different groups.
