Britain raises threat level from N. Ireland terrorism
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBritain raises its security threat level from Northern Ireland-related terrorism from moderate to substantial, Home Secretary Theresa May tells Parliament.
“This means that a terrorist attack is a strong possibility and reflects the continuing threat from dissident republican activity,” May says. “As a result of this change, we are working closely with the police and other relevant authorities to ensure appropriate security measures are in place.”
The level was substantial when the rating was first published by the MI5 domestic intelligence service in 2010 but was lowered to moderate in 2012.
