Snip: A FULL-scale chemical alert was launched at Hollywood Green cinema on Friday night after customers complained of breathing difficulties.

Terror lab still unbuilt 4 years after funding
Snip: A permanent local lab could run tests in as little as 20 minutes. New mobile units are intended to put a sophisticated lab within three hours reach of anywhere in the state.
