Green ups security following terrorist threats in U.K.

WARWICK -- There's heavier security at T.F. Green Airport in Warwick following the recent terrorist incidents in Britain.

A spokeswoman for the Rhode Island Airport Corporation says the airport has added additional staff and is -- quote -- ``being more diligent'' about searching vehicles.

At Logan Airport in Boston, canine units are patrolling terminals and state police are conducting random searches of vehicles.

Attackers on Saturday rammed a Jeep Cherokee into the main terminal building at the airport in Glasgow, Scotland. On Friday, two car bombs failed to explode in central London on Friday. Seven people have been arrested in connection with the attempted attacks.
