Authorities are preparing for ‘up to ten simultaneous terror attacks in London’.
The SAS and Met police are undergoing training that will help them deal with multiple attacks following the massacre in Paris, according to the Sunday Times.
‘We used to plan for three simultaneous attacks but Paris has shown that you need to be ready for more than that,’ an unnamed minister told the newspaper.
‘We are ready if someone tries with seven, eight, nine, ten.’
The army is also apparently ready to step in to help, with its counterterrorist bomb disposal unit launching a new team at Oxfordshire’s Didcot barracks that will specialise in chemical bombs.
The Times added there were fears terrorists coming back from Syria could launch attacks and The National Crime Agency was cracking down on firearms in the UK as a result.
A suspect in the Paris attacks Salah Abdeslam was arrested in Belgium on Friday, with a source claiming police deliberately shot the 26-year-old as revenge for him attacking their colleagues previously.
