| The cost of jihad: UK puts missiles on London rooftop to guard Olympics |
| 2012-04-29 |
| Britain's military has told residents of an upscale apartment development near the Olympic Park in east London it is installing a missile battery on top of a tower within their housing complex to defend the 2012 Games this summer. Â The site is one of a number around the capital the army is considering as bases for surface-to-air missiles to protect the London games from an aerial attack, the Ministry of Defense said. |

| #5 Nice jihad magnet you built there, London. I am sure that it will be a financial success, too. |

| #4 Simple plans are always the best. Still, terrorism is as much about theater as anything else, and P in MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defense System) does stand for Portable. |

| #3 Is there likely to be an airborne attack against London in honour of the Olympics? To me a jacket wallah or knapsack bombs in the subway or a sniper seems more likely... though granted I have absolutely no expertise in the matter. |
