Britian, April 22: Around 5,000 British Metropolitan police have prepared to face a great number of potential threats by the anti-monarchists, anarchists and other groups on the day of royal wedding.
The Officers have already started their operations regarding the scour of the professional route for explosives.
Scott Stewart, Vice President of Tactical Intelligence for political risk consultancy Stratfor said: “London is seen as a potential haven or breeding ground for jihadists, and that threat is also going to be simmering below the surface and it’s going to be in the mind of the British security services.”
UK police claimed that hundreds of thousands of people are predicted to descend to the streets in London, among whom some are to cheer the couple and some others would consider the event as a way to express their hatred against the monarchy.
Since the event is the target of the International media, UK police fears the militants, extremists, and single obsessives.
“You’ve got the people who are publicity seekers, people who try to get on stage when there’s a major international event going on,” Brian Paddick, the former senior London officer said.
“You’ve got the people obsessed with the royal family. Perhaps some people who think this is their last chance to save William for themselves. Then you will have the most sinister, you will have people perhaps thinking about a terrorism spectacular,” he added.
