French diplomats in London have reportedly carried out a ‘crisis management’ operation where they have practised how they would react to a terror attack as tensions rise globally amid the Middle East crisis
France has reportedly carried out a “crisis” exercise as it prepares for a terror strike on London.
With tensions soaring around the world following the US-Israel strikes on Iran and the retaliatory drone attacks in the Middle East, there are fears that the violence could spread to other regions.
French diplomats in London are understood to have carried out a “crisis management” operation where they have practised how they would react to a major incident.
The number of national security cases involving activity by hostile states including Iran has increased 50% in six months, the head of UK counter-terrorism policing said last month.
And the French plan is reportedly aimed to cover all types of crises including a terror attack on the UK capital where diplomats at France’s Embassy in Knightsbridge could be flown back to France under the direction of the Centre de Crise et Soutien (CDCS – Crisis and Support Centre) based in Paris.
