Authorities call existing security measures "sufficient"

Czech authorities have said no subsequent security measures have been planned following a series of blasts in London on Thursday. Interior Minister Frantisek Bublan said current measures were sufficient, and that there was no need to call a meeting of the National Security Council. Czech Foreign Ministry spokesman Vit Kolar meanwhile said that not enough specific information was currently available. On Thursday four detonators exploded in the London subway and on one bus, injuring one, two weeks after suicide bombers killed more than 50 people in the British capital. The London Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair called Thursday's events in London "very serious". Two suspects have been taken into custody.

Following the deadly attacks in London on July 7th the Czech Republic reinforced police patrols at key sites including the Prague metro, railways, airports and strategic buildings, as well as border crossings.
