Soldiers have always guarded Whitehall. Not so much news as history.

'Armed soldiers have been stationed in Whitehall amid fears that terrorists will try to attack ceremonial guards in the wake of a shooting in Canada.
The soldiers, who are carrying assault rifles, have been deployed at the entrance to Horse Guards Parade, where thousands of tourists gather each day to witness the Changing of the Guard.
The decision follows a review after a soldier on ceremonial duty in Canada was shot dead last week in a suspected terrorist attack.
There are growing concerns that British jihadists fighting in Syria and Iraq will return to this country and carry out acts of terrorism.
Senior police officers and MPs said there was likely to be a significant rise in the number of armed police at the Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day commemorations next month.'

It's where the government ministries are. There's a barracks there too. It's always been guarded by armed soldiers, they're just a little more visible. This is the British Press scaremongering, that's all.

Well, the Pentagon is the Department of Defence, isn't it. Whitehall contains lots of departments. Wiki it...
