Police say small fire caused London security alert

LONDON (Reuters) – British police said they were standing
down after a security alert caused by a fire on a bus in
central London on Tuesday prompted them to seal off streets in
the capital.

“It’s a fire,” said a police spokesman after officers
rushed to a bus which had smoke coming from it near Kings Cross
station. “We put cordons in as a precaution. It’s been looked
at and it’s only a fire.”
