London 2012: Missiles may be placed at residential flats

An east London estate, where 700 people live, has received leaflets saying a "Higher Velocity Missile system" could be placed on a water tower.

Standing Joint Commander (UK), General Sir Nick Parker, said:
"I know that members of the Armed Forces are pleased to be able to make an appropriate contribution to the once-in-a-lifetime event that is London 2012."
