UK raises threat level amid fears of another terrorist attack

Hmmm..........The United Kingdom terror threat level has been raised from severe to critical, a sign that a terrorist attack is considered imminent.

Prime Minister Theresa May made the announcement in a live television statement from Downing Street.

The development came 24 hours after the Manchester Arena attack, in which 22 people were killed and 59 others injured.

“It is a possibility that we cannot ignore that there is a wider group of individuals linked to this attack,” May said.
“The change in the threat level means there will be additional support available to the police as they work to keep us safe”, she added.

The critical threat level means that military personnel would be deployed to support armed police officers.
