Major counter-terrorism exercise at Aldwych

[rincew1nd]

I notice from this BBC News article that Aldwych is playing a part in Operation Strong Tower, a counter-terrorism exercise in central London.

I wonder if we can expect a genuine terrorist attack during the exercise?

I saw this on the TV news and thought that the station they showed could have been Aldwych.

Brigham, I also thought that. I suppose its possible, although there is a difference in that this time the exercise is being talked about (on the same day) in the media.

I desperately hope not.

Staging a genuine attack when thousands of police officers are already in the area would be remarkably stupid.
