LONDON British police closed at least 11 Tesco supermarkets across the country Saturday because of a security alert, authorities said.
The manager at a in Barrhead, near Glasgow, told Britain's Press Association that staff were sent home around 12:30 p.m. (1330 GMT) after a power failure. But an unidentified employee at a neighboring shop said police had told him there had been a bomb threat.
Police in Hertfordshire, where Britain's largest supermarket has its headquarters, said no one had been hurt and that the move was a precaution. Police did not immediately give further details.

Bad food springs to my mind. The TV guy says perhaps a threat to the store chain.

Food contamination alert, perhaps, based on intel. Maybe hajii learned from the Chinese foodstuff crisis that it is a good way to terrorize the masses. And they’re right.
