Medical personnel dressed in thick green rubber suits attend a simulated terrorist attack at Bank underground station in the centre of London. University College Hospital treated 'victims' of the exercise, who went through a rigorous decontamination process surrounded by police and hospital staff in full protective gear. 11/11/03: Simulated terrorist attack at Bank underground station in the centre of London. London is at greater risk of a terrorist attack by Islamic extremists than New York or Washington, a new study said. Terrorists are also more likely to target the capital than any other city in Western Europe, the Control Risk Group's 2004 RiskMap report analysing security in 195 countries around the world found. 07/01/04: The Government has published a Bill which will give authorities major new powers to cope with civil emergencies - including terrorist attacks - which include measures to bar public access to sensitive sites, evacuate affected areas, deploy the armed forces, requisition property, ban public gatherings or set up a special court to deal with a disaster. 21/04/2004: Leading scientists, who are members of the Royal Society, are expected to warn later Wednesday April 21, 2004, that better ways of detecting and dealing with chemical and biological agents must be found. Their findings follow an investigation after the 2001 postal anthrax attacks in the United States.
