AllahPundit has the scoop on a raid conducted by British police on a suspected chemical weapons lab in London:

Hotair.com—Sky News uses the C-word: “Police are not expecting to find conventional weapons. They are looking to find chemical ingredients of some kind.”

Is Sky sure they were looking for chemical weapons? The report from AustraliaÂ’s Sunday Times includes an ominous detail, "Police said the operation followed close liaison between security services and the Health Protection Agency, a body charged with guarding against infectious diseasesÂ…

"Officers wearing chemical, biological and radiological protection were sent to the scene in the ethnically mixed Forest Gate area of the capital while nearby roads were cordoned off."
