 | | LONDON - A secret Internet chatroom run by Britain’s financial regulators helped keep London’s financial markets open after Thursday’s bomb blasts, while financial firms activated security measures in case of further attacks. |
 | | The City of London’s financial markets, where currencies, stocks, bonds and commodities worth trillions of dollars are traded daily, kept going despite disruption from the blasts. |
 | | The Corporation of London, the body that runs the City, and the City of London police also have an Internet communication system that was used on Thursday to pass on advice to banks and other firms in the City’s “Square Mile”, the European hub for some of the world’s biggest financial services firms. |
