London Police on High Alert One Month After Deadly Bombings

About 6,000 London police officers are guarding the city's mass transit network today, precisely four weeks after a four-man team of British Muslim suicide bombers killed themselves and 52 passengers on subway trains and a bus.

The police operation includes uniformed officers, specially armed units and undercover agents in street clothes, all trying to prevent a repetition of the deadly bombings that tore through London's transit system on July 7.

The deputy assistant commissioner of London's transport police, Andy Trotter, explained the objectives of the operation during an interview on British radio. "There's no specific intelligence, but London is on a very high state of alert, and it is the [4-week] anniversary of the first attack, we're out there in large numbers," he said. "We are using all the tactics at our disposal to ________ any attack on the system and to make sure that the system runs safely today."

London commuters got back ________ the city's reopened Piccadilly Line subway service for the first time since the bombings.
