Residents in bid to stop Olympic missiles on roof
Jill Lawless writing for the Associated Press:
Residents of a London apartment tower went to court Monday in a bid to stop their rooftop from being used as a missile base during the Olympic Games, saying the deployment in a densely-populated area could make the building a terrorist target.
The British military plans to deploy surface-to-air missiles at six sites around London as part of a vast security operation for the July 27-Aug. 12 games. But residents of the 17-story Fred Wigg Tower in Leytonstone, east London, say they were not consulted about the move.
I can barely imagine having a missile battery installed on the roof of my place. That would be pretty cool but also really dang horrifying.
