Military presence stepped up as Britain faces raised threat
LONDON (AP) — Britons will find armed troops at vital locations Wednesday after the official threat level was raised to its highest point following a suicide bombing that killed 22, as new details emerged about the bomber.
Collomb, who spoke with British Prime Minister Theresa May after the attack, said the two countries should continue cooperating closely on counterterrorism efforts despite Britain's pending exit from the European Union.
Officials believe this will free up police to fight the threat of further extremist action against civilian targets, amid fears that another attack may be imminent.
