  • Police want to be able to respond to terror attacks on their own
  • They have reportedly trained officers to drop out of helicopters
  •  New squad is designed to deal with a ‘marauding gunman’ like in Tunisia
  •  Unit’s existence emerges on day of huge exercise in dealing with terror

The Met Police has assembled a new squad of armed officers to deal with a Mumbai-style terror attack on London.

The unit of 130 officers are believed to have been training with special forces in how to break up a terrorist siege or tackle an attack by a ‘marauding gunman’ like that in Tunisia last week.

It is understood the police are keen to be able to respond quickly to any such threat without having to immediately call in the army or SAS.

The difference between the new unit and military special forces would be that the police team’s primary focus would be on arresting, rather than taking down, terrorists, The Guardian reported today.

The paper claimed the new squad has been armed with semi-automatic rifles and can abseil from helicopters to avoid being caught up in the capital’s heavy traffic.

Islamic-extremist terrorists killed 173 people over three days in Mumbai in coordinated shootings and bombings in November 2008.
