As I walked back from LSE towards my dorm, I saw barricades blocking off the road near Holborn Station (couple minutes walk from LSE). A police officer directed us away from the scene – he seemed rather uptight about something. I heard people around me mention something about a bomb threat, so I got as far away as I could from the scene and did not take any pictures. The US Department of State had sent an email to American students studying abroad in the UK warning us about the heightened risk of a terrorist attack; this incident gave me a new perspective on the issue and scared me a little bit.
