Armed forces will patrol streets in armoured vehicles to protect Britons from ISIS attacks over Bank Holiday weekend
‘Heavily-armed Special Forces soldiers driving specially adapted and armoured civilian vehicles will patrol Britain’s streets in a bid to thwart an Islamic State atrocity over the Bank Holiday Weekend.
Security sources disclosed last night that elite troops will mingle with revellers and tourists at sites considered most at risk of a terrorist attack. But the male and female personnel will remain incognito unless called upon to intercept any jihadis.
A security source told The Mail on Sunday last night: ‘They will be casually dressed with their weapons hidden beneath their clothes. They won’t be in traditional military vehicles either.
‘Recently, a company of Special Forces Support Group troops completed a live firing exercise using Civilian Armoured Vehicles and they will be called upon.
‘These are regular cars but with special adaptations such as armour-plated doors and reinforced bullet-proof windows to assist them in an urban close quarter battle scenario,’ the source added.’
