Britons will find armed troops at vital locations Wednesday after the official threat level was raised to its highest point following a suicide bombing that killed 22, as new details emerged about the bomber. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said bomber Salman Abedi was known “up to a point” to the British intelligence services and police. Rudd said Britain’s increased official threat level will remain at “critical” as the investigation proceeds. Following the increase in the threat level, officials say soldiers will be deployed to places like Buckingham Palace, 10 Downing Street and Parliament. The government Tuesday night raised the threat to “critical”, its highest level, following an emergency Cabinet session.
