Ex-Israeli PM Netanyahu scheduled for talks at site of London blast
JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been scheduled to hold a meeting with investors at a hotel on top of the site of an explosion in central London, public radio reported.
"The explosion happened just beneath the hotel at the same time the meeting with businessman interested in investing in Israel was expected to begin," Oren Helman, an aide to the right-wing former premier, told public radio Thursday.
"The finance minister was forced to stay in the hotel where he is staying, at the request of British security services," he added.
