URGENT — Britain raises terror threat level to severe
URGENT — Britain raises terror threat level to severe – BNO News.
LONDON, ENGLAND (BNO NEWS) — The United Kingdom on Friday raised its international terrorism threat level from substantial to severe due to the crisis in Iraq and Syria, saying a terrorist attack is “highly likely” though there is no intelligence to suggest an attack is imminent.
“The increase in the threat level is related to developments in Syria and Iraq where terrorist groups are planning attacks against the West,” said British Home Secretary Theresa May. “Some of these plots are likely to involve foreign fighters who have travelled there from the UK and Europe to take part in those conflicts.”
Severe is the second highest level on the five-step scale of threat levels.

JTAC raised the terror alert, that is the UK Joint Terror group and is not political. That is the security services and military advising the Prime Minister through their group, so this is not politically done. It is MI5/MI6/Military/Police committee who feed in to government.
They are CONVINCED there is a real and concrete terror threat based on intel coming out of ISIS. There is worry of a simultaneous serious of attacks affecting both the UK and USA. perhaps aviation again.
They know something is coming. The what, when and where they are not getting right now. This is not a general ISIS warning type thing, but REAL intel of a real risk. JTAC are normally very wary of raising our level here. Again, this is not a political thing. JTAC made the request to government.
It IS linked to ISIS out of Syria/Iraq, likely affects both the UK and USA and that is all they know. They also believe the beheading of Foley was a calling card, signalling their intent to strike.
They will only raise the alert status to imminent when an attack is actually under way. This is the most serious alert the UK has, short of the attack actually being in progress. (I know that is weird, but they only go to imminent when it is actually happening in terms of the bad guys heading to the target)
I am told it is the most dangerous threat since 9/11.
COBRA is set to meet shortly. I am told the US national security meeting was primarily focused around the threat last night.
it seems to be both sides of the pond are on alert, but the US has yet to go public. I am told that might happen soon. The whole national security meeting with Obama yesterday was focused around the threat.- Janey

I rest in the assurance that the Chosen One, Barrack Obama, is fully in control of the impending threat. No need to worry because in the words of the Great One: Islam is a peaceful, noble religion. /sarcasm off [ps: prepare for chaotic hell out there!!]

We should all be very concerned.
I expect any terror attack here in the States will only go forth if it is BIGGER than 9/11.
That’s how they operate – they want to top themselves.
Meanwhile they’ve had their inside man in the WH for 6 years.
The whole thing is a nightmare of epic proportions!
