London 2012 Olympics: 'missiles left unguarded' outside east London flats

Posted online by Mr Whelan, the video appears to show crates of rockets and other military equipment piled up at the foot of a tower the Army plans to use as a surface-to-air missile base. In the footage, Mr Whelan says: “I’m standing in the Bow Quarter at the bottom of the Lexington Tower beside the unguarded military rockets. “There’s nobody around and there’s military equipment here, crates clearly full of missiles and not a person in sight." Three soldiers arrive at the end of the clip, which lasts less than a minute and was posted on the 28-year-old journalist’s website. The Ministry of Defence insisted that the items in the video were "dummy missiles" and posed no threat and that three military personnel were nearby. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/9243658/London-2012-Olympics-missiles-left-unguarded-outside-east-London-flats.html
