Operation Temperer
(27.07.2015)
Die Daily Mail berichtet über Pläne in Großbritannien, im Falle terroristischer Angriffe Militär im Inland einzusetzen. In einem solchen Fall würde die „Operation Temperer” anlaufen, die eine Stationierung von 5000 schwerbewaffneten Soldaten in englischen Städten beinhalte: „A top secret plan for the mass deployment of armed troops on the streets of Britain in the wake of a major terrorist attack can be revealed for the first time today. More than 5,000 heavily armed soldiers would be sent to inner cities if Islamic State or other fanatics launched multiple attacks on British soil – an unprecedented military response to terrorism. The plan, codenamed Operation Temperer, would see troops guard key targets alongside armed police officers, providing ‘protective security’ against further attacks while counter-terror experts and MI5 officers hunted down the plotters.” (jw)
