getting the FCO into gear over a weekend.
A bit of a cheap shot. The FCO Contingencies Centre was activated within minutes of news of the attack and specialist consular teams were on site within 6 - 12 hours, in addition, of course, to the in-country team that can call upon neighbouring UK missions (and assistance from other European countries, too).
Sadly, since the Bali bombing and the Tsunami, this is a well-practised FCO capability, and not limited to 9-5, Monday to Friday. I know; I work in a 'front line' Embassy.
