LONDON: Britain’s home secretary Theresa May is going to chair a Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms crisis meeting known more commonly as COBRA imminently to discuss how the UK government will respond to the devastating attacks in Paris.
COBRA meetings are usually tabled when events abroad could have major implications for Britain.
But during May’s interview on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, the home secretary revealed that the SAS — one of Britain’s special forces units — are already prepared for coordinated and multiple-shooting attacks on urban areas in the UK.
