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

Journalist Brian Whelan has filmed military equipment for a London 2012 Olympics security site left unguarded outside a block of flats in east London.

(12160.info Note - Reposting video from http://brianwhelan.net (server over capacity) to Youtube.)

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.

An MoD spokesman said: "These were dummy missiles which are used to practice with, not live ammunition. Had they been live missiles, they would have been protected by armed personnel and in any case, as the video shows, there were three personnel there at the time."

The MoD sent leaflets to residents of the development last week warning that soldiers and police will be stationed there for the duration of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

However, some living there, including Mr Whelan, are uneasy about the measure – to guard against potential airborne terrorist attacks – and are trying to prevent the plans going ahead.
