    The (balaclava-clad) face of modern British policing, or SF guys?

    The (balaclava-clad) face of modern British policing: London seige reveals armed- to-the-teeth team preparing for the Olympic Games


    Bristling with guns, his face masked, a police officer moves in on a suspected suicide bomber.

    Thousands were evacuated, Tube stations were closed and streets locked down over a wide area of London's West End.
    Snipers, bomb disposal squads, nuclear biological and chemical warfare specialists and dozens of armed police were scrambled to the building on Tottenham scrambled to an office block on Tottenham Court Road, one of the city's busiest shopping streets.
