Great Britain: Large anti-terrorism exercise in October

Great Britain plans to conduct a large-scale anti-terrorism exercise in October that will cover parts of Scotland and northern England, announced the country's Prime Minister Theresa May a few days after an attacker killed four people in a fatal attack near Westminster, reports Patria.

- For Great Britain, national security is the top priority, May emphasized in an official statement. "Training programs and exercises like this play a significant role in efforts to ensure the ability of police forces and other security forces of Great Britain to fully utilize intelligence information and resources of the country's security forces to provide protection from terrorism anywhere on our soil," the statement said.

The statement, which the media received via email, also said that such exercises would be conducted regularly, writes Reuters.
