London terrorist police chief warns of threats
London faces the threat of more terrorist attacks despite increased security in the wake of the deadly July bombings, a senior police chief said in an interview published on Thursday. Assistant Commission Andrew Hayman, who heads London's anti-terrorist operations, said detectives were tracking a number of potential suspects not linked to the events in July. Four British Muslims killed themselves and 52 others in suicide bombings on three underground trains and a bus on July 7. Two weeks later four bombers failed in an attempt to repeat the attacks. "I don't want to scaremonger but it has to be said, when you look around the world and at the prominence of London, that the threat is real," Hayman said in an interview with Britain's Guardian newspaper. "We always remain active in covert operations. We have a number of people who are of interest. London is an iconic site as a location for another terrorist attack. We have to be vigilant but you can't predict where or how or when they will try." Hayman added that no master plot had been discovered and he gave no details of the terror threat or those under observation. Interior minister Charles Clarke said earlier this month that hundreds of possible terrorist suspects were being monitored. He said Britain had boosted security services' resources and recruitment since the July attacks.
