Leniency Towards New Year's Eve Pot Smoking?
Monday December 27 8:05 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - British police signaled on Sunday they may take a lenient view of cannabis smoking and other minor
drug offences during celebrations for the new millennium.

''Police will look at each case individually and a caution will be an option to a prosecution,'' a police spokeswoman told
Reuters.

The Observer newspaper reported earlier that police would be too stretched dealing with millions of millennium revelers
and possible guerrilla attack threats to worry about minor drug offences.

The spokeswoman said police would still crack down hard on drug dealers. ''Suppliers and dealers will be targeted in the
usual way,'' she said.

Another Sunday newspaper reported that a group of anarchists had threatened to start a new Great Fire of London over the
millennium celebrations.

Police declined to comment on the Sunday Times report.

The newspaper said police had acquired intelligence on Islamic fundamentalists and Irish republican splinter groups as part
of security preparations for the millennium celebrations.

Police operations are being coordinated by a millennium unit involving the anti-terrorist squad and liaison with the army.
