Nice attack forces London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan to review ‘safety measures’

He said the capital will “stand united” with France, insisting the “poisonous and twisted” terrorists would be defeated.

Khan said the government’s crisis response committee, COBRA, will meet on Friday following the attack.

Prime Minister Theresa May also condemned the "horrific attack," and said Britain is at its highest security threat level.

“They regularly review security measures but clearly as the terrorists evolve in the way they try and hurt us we’ve got to evolve how we keep us safe. After Brussels, after Instanbul, after Nice, the police and the security experts will rightly review measures to make sure we’re safe,” he added.

Khan said it was important that people do not allow the terrorists to change their way of life.

“We should carry on doing our business, carry on behaving as we normally do … We aren’t going to allow them to win.”

Prime Minister Theresa May said she was “shocked and saddened by the horrifying attack” in France.

“Our hearts go out to the French people and all those who have lost loved ones or been injured.”

Asked about the safety of British citizens in light of the attack, the PM said security officials are reviewing the situation.

“The threat level in the UK is already at severe, that means a terrorist attack is highly likely. Senior officials today will be reviewing what more we can do to ascertain if there is any further action we need to take, but our security services and our police are ever vigilant.”
