Evacuation of London plan drawn up
Plans have been drawn up by the Government for a mass evacuation of London in the event of a terrorist attack, according to reports.
Leaked documents are said to detail how residents could be herded into "rest and reception areas" in the Home Counties in the event of an actual or imminent attack.
The confidential plan, codenamed Operation Sassoon, was presented to the London Resilience Forum at the Cabinet Office in July, according to The Sunday Times.
It lists Canary Wharf, Heathrow, Westminster, Whitehall and the City as possible targets.
The report came as emergency services prepared for a massive counter-terrorism exercise on the London Underground on Sunday.
According to the newspaper, "high-level intelligence" showing an attack was imminent could spark a mass evacuation of large parts of the capital, while there are plans for "medium/long term rehousing" if an area became uninhabitable from a terrorist strike.
Under the heading "how it will be done", Londoners would be directed to safe areas on foot before being transferred to special camps outside the M25 by rail, Tube, buses and cars.
With a population of more than seven million, a mass evacuation of London would result in panic and gridlock.
A rush-hour power cut lasting less than an hour last month left a quarter of a million people trapped on the Underground and resulted in hours of transport chaos.
Asked about the report, a Home Office spokesman said: "We do not comment on leaked documents. Obviously there are contingency plans in place. People should be alert but not alarmed."

Dunque, per farla breve: č saltato fuori che esiste un piano per l'evacuazione di Londra, nome in codice Operazione Sassoon.
Questo piano viene scoperto mentre i servizi di emergenza si stanno preparando per una gigantesca esercitazione anti-terrorismo nella metropolitana di Londra questa domenica
Secondo il giornale, se un messaggio di alto livello di intelligence dovesse mostrare che un attacco fosse imminente questo potrebbe far cominciare una evacuazione di massa di grandi parti della capitale, mentre ci sono piani per una ricollocazione a medio/lungo termine degli abitanti se l'area dovesse diventare inabitabile per via di un attacco terroristico.

Se un articolo cosė l'avesse scritto un sito qualsiasi l'avrebbero fatto chiudere e il webmaster si sarebbe preso una denuncia di procurato allarme. Ma quando sono i media ufficiali che parlano, non si corre alcun rischio.
