British police vowed on Friday no let up in vigilance at the Olympics with only two days to go, saying their low visibility security had allowed visitors to enjoy the spectacle while effectively protecting the world’s biggest sporting event.
Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Chris Allison, the national Olympic security co-ordinator, added without elaborating that any counter-terrorism action that had taken place was part of “business as usual”, suggesting it had not been Olympics related.
“We recognise that we still have three days to go, three very important and very busy days, and therefore we won’t be taking our eye off the ball,” he told Reuters.
