British general: Technology deployed in Afghanistan could be used to counter terrorist threats to the London Olympics

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/4360440/Olympic- security-being-hampered-by-bureaucrats-Army-chief-says.html

excerpts from:

Olympic security being hampered by bureaucrats, Army chief says

by Thomas Harding, Daily Telegraph, 27 December 2008

Quote:
[The next head of the British army] Gen Sir David Richards [told members of Parliament] that advanced technology being used to defeat insurgents in Afghanistan [and Iraq] could be used to counter terrorist threats to the [2012] London Games.

[...]

But giving evidence to the Commons Defence Committee, General Sir David Richards, Commander-in-Chief Land Forces, said the Armed Forces still do not know what their role will be in providing security for the Games.
