UK deploys 1,000 soldiers to protect key sites after bombing
Britain deploys hundreds of soldiers to secure key sites across the country, including Buckingham Palace and the British Parliament at Westminster in the wake of Monday’s suicide bombing in Manchester that killed at least 22 people.
The government says nearly 1,000 soldiers and not police are guarding in high-profile sites in London and other locations.
As soldiers replaced armed police at Buckingham Palace, 10 Downing Street and Parliament, London Police Commander Jane Connors says the goal is to “make our city as hostile an environment as possible for terrorists to plan and operate.”
