UK readying for possible copycat attacks
None
Britain is bracing for clashes with right-wing extremists and possible copycat terror attacks after the brutal slaying of a young soldier. London's Metropolitan Police said more than 1,000 officers will be sent to potential trouble spots with armed response units. Only a fraction of Britain's police officers are armed.
Wednesday's bloody attack was captured on video by passersby and made for gruesome viewing. Terror analysts say the attackers wanted publicity to inspire copycat attacks, and that they are already seeing an increase in chatter on extremist sites calling for such attacks. (AP)
