We learn in October 2010 that, over the past 12 months, the British security services have practised for "a Mumbai-style attack and in Birmingham the emergency services conducted a secret exercise." ('plotting Mumbai-style attack on cities')

On 30 September 2010, The Independent reported that British police and security services 'recently' held an unpublicised exercise in Birmingham, in the West Midlands, to rehearse scenarios to deal with a Mumbai-style attack on the UK. (Mumbai-style commando raid plan 'uncovered')

According to The Telegraph, 30 September 2010, "David Cameron, the Prime Minister, asked to see details about preparations for a Mumbai-style attack when he was notified about the plot around two weeks ago...

"He was shown the results of a training exercise in the West Midlands earlier this year involving police marksmen, special forces and the emergency services." (British 'behind Mumbai-style plot')

According to the Daily Mirror on 4 October 2010, "in preparation for a Mumbai scenario, police and soldiers have carried out joint exercises near Dover." (CIA-NATO Gladio-style terror threat of attacks on tourist ...)

and bye the bye, off Scottish coast:

Clyde Naval Base, Scotland: Thirteen European countries along with the US will showcase their military might when they kick start 'Exercise Joint Warrior' off the coast of Scotland and across the UK this month.

The coalition exercise, designed and led by Britain's Joint Tactical Exercise Planning Staff (JTEPS), will see the participation of land, air and naval forces from the US, Canada, Italy, France, Estonia, Spain, Poland, Belgium, Turkey, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Denmark, the UK MoD said.

A total of 30 ships, three submarines, seven helicopter units, 14 land based air units and 11 separate ground forces will take part in the annual wargame, pegged to be Europe's largest military exercise.

The exercise is aimed at providing coordinated tactical training for all three UK Armed Services and also forces from allied nations. The tri-forces of all the participating countries will be involved in composite air operations, close air support, electronic warfare (EW) training and mine countermeasure training exercises.

The exercise scenarios will challenge the coalition navies in major warfare areas such as air defence, anti-surface warfare and anti-submarine warfare. The tri-forces will also conduct anti-insurgency, anti-terrorism, anti-narcotics and state on state conflict operations.
