The UK international terror threat level has been raised to "severe", Home Secretary Theresa May has said.

The new alert level means an attack is "highly likely". It is the second highest of five possible threat levels.

Mrs May said there was no intelligence to suggest an attack was "imminent" but that the level had been raised in response to events in Iraq and Syria.

The threat level in the UK last changed in July 2011 when it was reduced to "substantial".

Mrs May said: "The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) is responsible for setting the national threat level. That informs the decisions of security professionals across the public and private sectors about the appropriate level of security in place across the United Kingdom.

Try Fox news - they're using the same template they used for Iraq just edited "WMD 45 minute" bits and swapped them for "immediate threat to our homeland".

They're even using the same actors!

Why say UK terror threat when everyone knows its a London terror threat?

Wasn't Teresa May promising some new civil liberty busting laws just yesterday? And today they put up the terror threat level. Hmmm.

Any moment now they'll be knocking on the door in the cover darkness. :nazi::nazi::nazi:

Just ask the Berliners, they've been here before.

Sound like couple of millions down the drain each year for this highly demanding task of changing the threat every couple of years based on CNN reports...
