Two sisters charged in London blast probe
British police investigating the botched London subway attack of July 21 said Thursday they had charged two sisters for failing to disclose information under anti-terror laws. The city's nerves were further rattled by a message from al-Qaeda warning of more bloodshed, but people made efforts to carry on.
In a show of force, officers armed with submachine guns patrolled uncrowded subway stations and police helicopters hovered over city streets as one of the busiest Underg-round lines reopened Thursday four weeks to the day after suicide bombers killed 52 people.
Undercover officers mixed with a lighter-than-usual load of subway commuters many Londoners no doubt mindful that terrorists had attempted similar attacks exactly two weeks after the deadly July 7 transit bombings.
