May to hold emergency meeting after London attack

Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May will chair a meeting of the government emergency committee to discuss the response to the terror incident in London.

The emergency committee, known as Cobra, coordinates the high-level response to serious incidents. It brings together government ministers with senior officials of the emergency services and security and intelligence agencies.

Such meetings are held after such serious incidents as the July 7, 2005 attack on London transport services.

The Wednesday meeting is held in the briefing room of the Cabinet Office on Whitehall.
