GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Law/Patents / International terrorism, Btitish English
English term or phrase: WPC
Please, deabbreviate WPC.
It is true that there was a confrontation with the police involving the Libyan 'People's Bureau' (the Libyan regime's designation for an embassy) in 1984, but this was not triggered by hostage-taking but by the killing of WPC Yvonne Fletcher, on duty in St James's Square, by a gunman inside the Libyan People's Bureau. It's my first question. Thanx in advance.
