Pre-Olympic anti-terror drill held

A mocked-up terror attack on the London Underground is being staged as part of a massive exercise to test security for the 2012 Games.

The exercise is to test the response to a terrorist incident on the London Underground network during the Olympics.

Some 2,500 people – spanning everyone from police constables to Cobra, the top level Government committee which sits during national emergencies and crisis, are being put through their paces by the two-day test.

The disused Aldwych station, a stone’s throw from central London’s Royal Courts of Justice, will be the scene of the live test, with much of the action taking place behind closed doors.

The test is being staged as if it is August 8 and 9 – two busy days during the Olympics.
