London will **t be cowed by militants, says police chief

LONDON: London will **t be cowed by militants who have killed 35 people in three separate attacks in Britain, but police will ask for more resources to tackle the threat from marauding assailants, London police chief Cressida Dick told Reuters on Saturday.

Three militants rammed a hired van into pedestrians on London Bridge last Saturday before going on the rampage through the bustling Borough Market area, where they slit throats and stabbed people.

Three French people, two Australians, one Canadian, a Spanish man and a Briton were killed in the attack, and almost 50 wounded.

Police shot the attackers dead just eight minutes after the first call from the public.

Metropolitan police Commissioner Dick said she understood that people were concerned about security after the attacks in London and Manchester, but that the British capital would **t be intimidated.

“London is a safe city and we will do everything we can in our power to keep you safe,” she said in an interview at London police headquarters, just a few steps away from Westminster Bridge, where an attacker killed five people on March 22.”We won’t let them win and London will carry on,” she said, adding that security services had foiled five plots since then.

Dick, an Oxford University graduate, was appointed London’s first female police chief and Britain’s top ******r in February, taking charge of a force of 43,000 ******rs and staff with a budget of more than 3 billion pounds ($3.8 billion).

She officially started the job less than three weeks after Khalid Masood drove a car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, and then stabbed a policeman to death in the grounds of parliament.

Then, eight weeks later, three Islamists staged a carbon-copy attack on London Bridge. The spate of recent attacks - the deadliest in Britain since four British Islamist suicide bombers killed 52 people on the London transport system in July 2005 - thrust security and policing to the fore of the campaign for last Thursday’s election.

Prime Minister Theresa May, a former interior minister, came under particular scrutiny for cuts to the police.

Asked if the Metropolitan police needed more resources, Dick said: “We will want more resources to help us and I am sure the same will be being said in the intelligence agencies.

“Obviously we will be reviewing, for example, the number of armed ******rs we have and how they work, and a whole host of other things that are likely, from my point of view, to take more resources, and I will be asking for them.

“After the London Bridge attack, May said Britain was under threat from a new breed of crude copycat militants who did **t spend months planning and may **t have been radicalised online.

“We are highly effective at preventing attacks in this country and we will step up a gear and do our level best to stop any further attacks,” Dick said, urging those hiring out vehicles to be vigilant.
