LONDON (AP) – British police defused a bomb found in a parked car in central London on Friday, and the new government called an emergency meeting of senior security chiefs to investigate what many feared could have been a planned terror attack.

A British security official told The Associated Press that the car was packed with explosives, gas canisters and nuts and bolts and would have caused “significant damage.”

He said there were similarities between the device and vehicle bombs used by insurgents in Iraq.

I raise this because on BBC Radio 4 this morning it mentioned that a number of companies/offices in that area had to invoke their disaster/contingency plans to deal with the various closed roads and disruption.

It’s always important to plan for emergencies, to understand what you expect of your teams to do, how business is set to continue etc.
