Eh, it is just news noise really. A suicide bomber proof part of a building? How much does that take? Not a lot.

Look at a modern commercial building being constructed. Steel frame and then concrete beams placed as floors for first floor, second floor etc and then concrete pumped on top of that.

If you are on the ground floor and a suicide bomber is on the first floor - or in a basement as the BBC studio - then a suicide bomber is not really going to have an impact.

The only additions would be a bit of sound proofing but you would want that in a TV studio.

Take a look around buildings and see lots of measures that have taken place for years - the main one you will see is either a raised entrance or anti vehicle measures on buildings to stop cars, buses, trucks ect driving through an entrance and then blowing a car bomb.

Google *Any city* crown court and you will see what I mean - areas in front only accessible by steps, anti vehicle measures, plinths to keep vehicle bombs from the main walls, 'courtyards' in front of the buildings that are enclosed and only approachable up stairs. A lot of them have been designed to make if difficult for tanks to attack.
