Coe, a member of the House of Lords, and IAAF communications director Jackie Brock-Doyle were also visiting Westminster at the time of the incident.
They were among several hundred people forced to wait in buildings around Westminster, spending several hours there before being evacuated.
I can't understand Coe being around Westminster. But why the IAAF communications director?! Was Coe supposed to be testifying/briefing about UKAD and doping, or?
TASS has it covered.
http://tass.ru/sport/4117952The president of the Athletics Federation of India, a member of the IAAF Council and a friend of Kou Adile Sumariva on her page in the social network Twitter reported that the head of the organization is safe. "Thank God that my dear friend Lord Sebastian Coe is safe after the incident near the British Parliament, this is a crazy and insensitive attack," Sumarivala wrote.
Isn't it kind of stupid to attack the well-guarded Parliament building? Wouldn't it be smarter to go for an easier target?
Are we sure Coe is aware anything happened?
At all?
He has a history of being very closely involved in things and completely unaware..
