Armed To The Teeth With Firepower: The Face Of Policing In London

Armed to the teeth with fire-power, the beefed-up police firearms officers are helping protect UK's citizens amid the growing fear from ISIS terror attack. a Policeman carrying powerful Heckler and Koch G36C semi-automatic rifles and Glock 17 9mm pistols was spotted patrolling the central London, earlier today. Security has been reportedly bolstered at tourist hotspots following the shooting of a ceremonial guard outside the Canadian parliament.

Last week, senior Army officers made the decision to deploy armed troops there after Corporal Nathan Cirillo, 24, was shot dead by an Islamist fanatic two weeks ago while on unarmed guard duty at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. His killer, Muslim convert Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was shot dead by the Sergeant-At-Arms when he stormed the parliament, firing a shot into the door of the room where Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was hiding a cupboard.

There are fears a ‘lone wolf’ extremist radicalised by Islamic State could attempt to murder a British soldier.
