Police evacuate Birmingham centre


Saturday, 9 July, 2005 - Traffic is not being allowed into the city centre


About 20,000 people have been evacuated from Birmingham city centre amid a security alert. West Midlands Police asked people to leave Broad Street, the main entertainment hub and two other areas. Some city homes were also evacuated. No vehicles are being allowed past the inner ring road into the city centre, and there have also been reports of controlled explosions by police. West Midlands Police said it was in response to intelligence it received. It is an exodus and the lot of roads are like ghost streets, when they normally would be packed with people Police have said it was a "proportionate response" to the intelligence, but were not giving specific details.


Birmingham resident Kenneth Kelsall told the BBC: "There is a lot of confusion, there appears to be no chance of anyone moving back into the city - but people are remaining quiet."


West Midlands Police announced they had received intelligence of a possible threat to the area at about 2015 BST. Initially people were told to be on their guard, and that bars and restaurants were being searched. Motorists were also told not to come into the city centre. However, about half an hour later, police announced that the city was to be evacuated. The BBC's Zoe Gough said there was confusion and people were trying to find out information but there was no panic.


'Gridlocked' streets


"Everybody is just being turned round and the main roads out of the city seem to be gridlocked, although traffic does seem to be moving," she said. "I have seen some cars just pulled up and also people walking along with suitcases away from city centre as if they have been stranded there," she said. She said people were mainly trying to continue with their nights out, but the area being evacuated appeared to be increasing. "People who have come here to have a good time have been trying to carry on with their evening, but the area being evacuated seems to be widening," she said. "I did see a massive queue outside a nightclub, Liberty's in Hagley Street, where people had gone to." "But it is an exodus and the lot of roads are like ghost streets, when they normally would be packed with people. "The traffic is moving the wrong way than it normally would be on a Saturday night, put it that way. "

8,000 Flee Bomb Scare

11th July 2005 - EIGHT thousand people were evacuated from a packed community festival in Sheffield after reports of a suspect package sparked a bomb scare. Organisers and police ordered everyone out of Abbeyfield Park, Burngreave, after the force apparently received more than one warning. Vendors were forced to abandon stalls and join thousands of revellers, many with young children, who surged towards the exits.


Eyewitnesses said some people resorted to jumping walls when a crush briefly developed but it is believed everyone cleared the park safely within half an hour of the announcement just after 4pm yesterday. Police sealed off surrounding streets causing traffic chaos.


Abbeyfield Festival is one of Sheffield's largest one-day events with 60 full-time and 30 part-time organisers working over six months, assisted by 100 volunteers. It boasts three music stages, dozens of performers and scores of stalls.


A South Yorkshire police spokesman said: "Abbeyfield Park was evacuated after reports of a suspect package. The park was searched but nothing was found. We take all such reports seriously and we have to be extra vigilant particularly in light of the attack in London last week."


Event co-ordinator Bob Worm said they received more than one warning of a suspect package at around the same time. "Our evacuation procedures were launched and I'm pleased with the way everyone left so quickly. The Bomb Squad was not called in, but sniffer dogs were used."


John Watts, who was on the Burngreave Church on the Rock stall, said people had heightened awareness of an incident after the terrorist attacks in London. -sheffield today

Houses searched in bomb inquiry [500 people evacuated]


12 July, 2005 - Sir Ian Blair says more attacks are likely


Five homes in West Yorkshire have been searched by police investigating last week's London bombings. Anti-terror officers launched the raids - including at least one on a house in Leeds - about 0600 BST, but so far have made no arrests. The move came as Sir Ian Blair, Met Police Commissioner, said another attack on London was "likely". Some 52 people were killed and 700 injured in last Thursday's four bombings on three Tubes and a bus.


Parts of Colwyn Road and Tempest Road in the Beeston area of Leeds have been sealed off by police.


Sir Ian confirmed the raids were part of the bombing investigation. Another attack is likely, there's no question about that


He said: "There have been a series of searches carried out in Yorkshire. Those searches are still going on.


"This activity is directly connected to the outrages on Thursday."


Speaking on BBC London, the commissioner said London, as well as New York, continued to be "major terrorist targets".


He said: "Another attack is likely, there's no question about that. When, who knows." - BBC





Note: Colwyn Road, Tempest Road in the Beeston area of Leeds are referred to as Multi cultural [Asian/Afro-Carribean] areas...Houses evacuated, a 'Pakistani' family have been targetted...Helicopter overhead... on BBC News 24 - one house being searched is unoccupied

Policeman hurt in Barcelona blast

12 July, 2005 - Spanish police were alerted by staff at the cultural centre


An explosion at the Italian Cultural Institute in the Spanish city of Barcelona has lightly injured a policeman and killed a sniffer dog.

The blast happened as a bomb disposal team was examining a suspicious metal coffee pot which staff had spotted at the building's entrance on Tuesday.

The Italian foreign Ministry said a home-made bomb had caused the blast.

Spanish police cordoned off the area. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.


The Associated Press reports that graffiti was daubed on a wall outside the cultural institute reading "freedom for Italian prisoners" along with a circle with the letter A - the symbol for anarchism. - BBC

Mass arrests made in Milan swoops


9 July, 2005 - Italy has boosted anti-terror measures after the London attacks


Italian police have arrested 142 people in the course of a two-day security operation in and around Milan which was prompted by the London bombings.


Most were detained over drugs, theft or illegal immigration while 1.5 kilos (3.3 pounds) of explosives were found at the home of a convicted criminal.


Some 2,000 police took part in the operation in Italy's business capital. Threats have been posted on Islamist websites threatening to attack the country, which has troops in Iraq. A police official, Col Cosimo Piccino, said the sweep was meant "to guarantee greater security after the London attacks and to combat illegal immigration and street crime".


Some 7,000 people are said to have undergone preventive police checks.


Partial pullout


Police reportedly raided several Gypsy camps and other deprived areas. Of those arrested, 83 are said to be non-EU citizens. Deportation orders have already been issued for 52 of them.


"Charges are mainly related to crimes like burglary, theft, evading home arrest and infringement of drug laws," Col Piccino was reported by daily Corriere della Sera as saying after the arrests.


In a separate development, police evacuated part of Rome's Fiumicino airport after a false alarm sparked by an unattended bag earlier this morning. Speaking from the G8 meeting in Gleneagles, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said Italy would start withdrawing 300 troops from Iraq in September. But he underlined that the partial pullout had already been announced and that Italy's presence in the region would continue until the Iraqi authorities will be able to replace it with their own security forces.


"Commitments must be met," he said. - BBC

Italian parliament to hear anti-terrorism measures

12/07/2005 - Italy's interior minister was to brief parliament today on extra anti-terrorism measures proposed following the deadly bombings in London last week.


Italy has stepped up its level of alert and tightened security after the explosions, and Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu has said new legislative measures might be needed to help Italy prevent a possible future attack.


News reports have said Pisanu's plans may include allowing police to detain suspects longer without charges, quicker expulsion of illegal immigrants deemed a danger, and giving incentives for those helping investigators bring down terrorist cells.


Also among the ideas is a "super-prosecutor" to co-ordinate terrorism investigations in the same way Italy's anti-Mafia prosecutors have worked.


Internet threats - including one posted in a claim of responsibility for Thursday's bombings in London - have mentioned Italy as a target of future attacks. - iol.ie

London bombs: Premises searched in Poland


11/07/2005 - Security officials in Poland have searched the premises of a British citizen of Pakistani origin in connection with the terrorist bombings in London. Security officials in the eastern Polish city of Lublin conducted the search acting on a tip, said Agata Studenny, a spokeswoman for the Lublin office of the country's Internal Security Agency.She said the man, whose name was not released, was not taken into custody. Citing the sensitive nature of the case, Studenny refused to say whether agents had searched a home, an office or some other type of property. But she indicated the tip was being taken seriously.


"In connection with information from a Lublin resident who suggested this person could be connected with the attacks in London, we have undertaken several procedural actions, including the search of his premises," Studenny said.


"He was not, however, detained and he remains in Lublin. I will not make any comments as to the results of the actions we have conducted," she added. "If some more information emerges, we will inform the public. There are, however, justifiable suspicions." - iol.ie

SPAIN STEPS UP SECURITY - Foreign legion on the streets...

12 Jul 2005 - The Director General of the Civil Guard, Carlos Gómez Arruche, has said that both the Civil Guard and the National Police are currently keeping close watch on transport centres and other areas where there are large numbers of public, following the bomb attacks in London on Thursday. Also under closer guard were power stations and other strategic sites across the country, he said. Alert level three in Spain means that the armed forces can also be called on to take part in the operations. He added that there was a special alert plan in force in the Levante area of Eastern Spain, but denied that there was any indication of any immediate terrorist threat. Members of the Spanish foreign legion are to patrol the local commuter railway lines.

Meanwhile the Secretary General of the Partido Popular. Ãngel Acebes, has said that the Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, has shown he has no idea about terrorism. It follows comments by Zapatero in which he said terrorism was the result of injustice in the world. Acebes went on to ask Zapatero what sea of injustice had led to the creation of ETA. - typically spanish [no the site really is called that!]

Meanwhile: Car bomb in northern Iraq kills three

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12/07/2005 - A car bomb exploded today in the industrial district of the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, killing at least three people and wounding 15. The car was parked in the southern neighbourhood when it exploded as people were passing in the street, said police Capt. Farhad Talabani.


Police Brig. Gen. Sarhad Qader said it was not a suicide attack. Car bombs have killed hundreds of people since the government of Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari took office on April 28.


The motive for the attack was unclear, but Kirkuk, a centre of Iraq's oil industry, is the scene of ethnic rivalry among Arab, Kurdish and Turkomen populations. IOL

Station evacuated over 'bomb link' car - MORE FEAR IN LUTON UK

12/07/2005 Police today evacuated Luton railway station and car park as they recovered a vehicle they believe may be linked to the terrorist attacks in London last week. A 100 yard cordon was placed around the station in a major operation by Bedfordshire Police in conjunction with the Metropolitan Police and British Transport Police. The station was closed at 2.45pm on the grounds of public safety so that the car could be recovered. A police spokesman said: "Police believe the vehicle may be connected to the terrorist attacks in London." The car was being examined in the car park for safety reasons before being taken away to a secure location by the Met Police.


Bedfordshire Police said the search could take some time and a cordon will be in place for approximately three hours. The areas affected included Luton Railway Station, the bus station, part of the Luton University campus and a number of privately owned buildings. Trains have been prevented from passing through Luton until a safety assessment has been completed. Police officers and staff have been deployed to the neighbouring stations to assist those commuters who have been forced to leave trains. Bedfordshire Police Deputy Chief Constable Martin Stuart said: "We can only apologise for the inconvenience this has caused everybody but your safety is our priority, which can only be ensured by taking this action.


"We are working closely with the Metropolitan Police during this time and hope the disruption can be kept to a minimum." - IOL
