THE ASSOCIATED PRESS I AP 360
British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament from its summer recess and nearly tripled the number of police on the streets after days of rioting in London blossomed into a full-blown political crisis.
Parliament will return to duty on Thursday, as the political fallout from the rampage takes hold. The crisis is a major test for Cameron's Conservative-led coalition government, which includes Liberal Democrats who had long suspected its program of harsh budget restraints could provoke popular dissent.
