Only three days later the terrorist attack which has done fall the whole Europe in a diffuse fear toward the Islamic State, doing a round for the most popular boroughs of London, you can see how much the urban security systems have been increasing since these last seventy two hours.
London, that has always been a safe city, since the terrorist attempted happened on 21 July 2005, improved its measures of control. London is a huge multicultural metropolis, this is a good thing but it means also a great responsibility, because to have so many different cultures together imply a certain level of risk, the mankind is not perfect.
The British government and the mayor of London have been working in a enjoyable partnership to avoid the repetition of the tragic bombing fact of 21 July. However the danger is always around the corner and also the most security system of the world could have a few but fundamental weak points.
Nevertheless I decided to check in first person the level of warning of London, I selected four of most representative places for tis delicate moment: the French Embassy, the French Consulate, Buckingham Palace and Westminster. Are all likely other targets for a possible political terrorist attack, for this reason I tried to pick up any information by the policeman.
The atmosphere was very heavy, anyway I got some answers. Outside Buckingham Palace and Westminster, I asked to a group of some policeman, these two question above:
in which areas of London are the police’s controls increasing?
which places or building could be a likely targets for a possible other terrorist attack?
They answered me that wherever in London the control are increasing, in those famous tourist places such as: Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden and the whole borough of City of Westminster, have been sent a great number of agents, nevertheless the police and the secret services are carrying out a lot of checks anywhere until the far borders of London.
About the second question they told me that any place with a great concentration of people could became a target for the Muslim terrorists, in fact they reminded my that this evening the Wembley stadium will host the football match between the England team vs the French team. The football match organized to raise funds to the cancer research, could be a likely target for the aggressive porpoises of Islamic State.
When I went to the Embassy and Consulate of France I asked for speaking with a member of these institution, but the special measures of security that are adopting now, did not allow me to do it, anyway I enjoyed to speak with the agents outdoor these two institutional buildings but they released a short interview and nothing more. It has been a normal reaction for a tragic and special moment for the all Occidental world.
Meantime, news from the most important press from all over the world, are issuing two important notices: the crash of the Russian flight on the desert of Sinai seems that has been caused by a bomb device attributed at Islamic state, and the France state is carrying out a series of several aircraft strikes.
The confirmation about the crash happened in Egypt is a tough new, because it means that we are living in a true difficult international situation, however the reaction that the French government has been giving is a hope for complete resolution of this difficult moment.
