DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. August 27, 2017, 10:21 AM (IDT)

In a recent simulated attack, security officers posing as terrorists took five minutes to enter the British parliament building from the River Thames, before reaching the House itself and killing up to 100 members. Watching the security drill which took place during the recess, one member said, “We are sitting ducks.” Officials confirmed Sunday that security lapses have been corrected and an armed guard is now in place at entrances to the historic building including those from the river. They are also calling for a barrier.

Five months ago, Khalid Masood killed five people on Westminster Bridge. On Friday night, a terrorist shouting Allahu Akbar drove a car at police outside Buckingham Palace and reached for a four-foot sword. Two police officers were injured before he was arrested. Scotland Yard said the incident is being treated as terrorism.

Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
