Emergency services take part in simulated terror attack

More than 100 people from the emergency services have taken part in a large scale multi-agency exercise involving a simulated terrorist attack.

The scenario was based on a group of terrorists storming a block of flats and attacking the occupants with knives then setting the building on fire.

The terrorists then moved to a nearby restaurant where they attacked approximately 50 people.

The exercise was held at Prince Philip Barracks, in Bordon, one of Hampshire Fire and Rescue's training facilities.

The annual exercise tests the response from the emergency services including South Central Ambulance Service and Hampshire Police.
