Britain began flooding London's streets with 16,000 police officers Tuesday, nearly tripling their presence as the nation feared its worst rioting in a generation would stretch into a fourth night.

FILE - In this May 16, 2008 file photo, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, left, is welcomed by children waving Britain's flag, upon her arrival at the British Embassy in Ankara, Turkey. Encouraged by the largely successful peace process in Northern Ireland, which has made her sensitive visit feasible, the queen will become the first British monarch to set foot in the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday, May 17, 2011. When a British sovereign last came, a full century ago, all of Ireland was still part of the United Kingdom. (AP Photo/Firat Yurdakul, Pool) (AP)

In this photo taken Tuesday, March 8, 2011, Libyan businessman Fadlallah Haroun, 45, who spent seven years in Moammar Gadhafi's prisons without being charged, stands in a cell at a stormed security base in the city of Benghazi, the Katiba building, where he spent 14 days before being transferred to Abu Selim prison in Tripoli, Libya. Now that eastern Libya has ripped itself free from Gadhafi's grip, residents there finally feel safe to talk about what life was like under the regime. The stories they tell are stamped with the terror, paranoia and sinking sense of desperation instilled in the people by Gadhafi since he took power in a 1969 coup. (AP Photo/Nasser Nasser) (AP)
