Evacuation

Fox News is reporting that police have begun evacuating central Birmingham, the second biggest city in Britain. This is an area well stocked with bars and restaurants (think Rush St. times 10), so on a Saturday night, we're talking thousands if not tens of thousand of people. This is no small undertaking and is very different from a general alert where someone may have spotted an suspicious bag or something similar. An evacuation of this magnitude points to specific intelligence of a terror event.

UPDATE: Bomb techs detonated a "suspicious" package in Birmingham, but are saying that it probably wasn't a device. Look for a large portion of the West to be on pins and needles for a bit.
