Terror Interrupted in Birmingham
Author: Justene Adamec — Published: Jul 09, 2005 at 5:30 pm 3 comments

The entire city center in Birmingham has been evacuated and there are reports that the police have conducted controlled explosions.

The evacuations were the result of "intelligence." The controlled explosions suggest that it was not a false alarm.

Birmingham Evacuated after Terror Threat

Panic in the streets of Birmingham

I am in Birmingham … sirens are wailing … again!

I finally made it back from London to Birmingham and the breaking news here is that the Broad Street area of the city has been closed off and thousands of people have been evacuated.

Do these incidents signal further terror attacks in the UK?
