West Fife commuters will expect to see armed police on patrol at stations and crowded places following the terror incident in Manchester last night. 

Police Scotland have asked the public to remain alert and report anything suspicious although they believe there is no intelligence to suggest that there is any threat north of the border. 

At least 22 people have died, including children, and 59 people have been injured in a suicide bombing at a concert in Manchester last night. 

The attack, which took place in the foyer area of Manchester Arena, set hundreds of people fleeing in terror at the end of the Ariana Grande gig. 

Chief Constable Phil Gormley said: “My thoughts and those of everyone at Police Scotland are with those who have lost loved ones or who were injured in the attack in Manchester.

“As part of the UK-wide response to these events, Police Scotland continues to review all safety and security plans and operations.

“This includes ensuring our armed policing and specialist resources are appropriately deployed.

“People will therefore see armed police on patrol at transport hubs and crowded places. There is no intelligence to suggest there is any threat to Scotland but I would ask the public to remain alert and report anything suspicious.

“We continue to liaise with the UK authorities in response to this incident.”
