Terror level in UK raised to 'severe' Home secretary says threat has increased, but no suggestion a terror attack is imminent Friday 22 January 2010 20.54 GMT Article history guardian.co.uk The threat to the UK from international terrorism was tonight raised from substantial to severe - meaning an attack is "highly likely". Home secretary Alan Johnson said although the threat had increased, there was no intelligence to suggest an attack was imminent. He said: "The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre has today raised the threat to the UK from international terrorism from substantial to severe. "This means that a terrorist attack is highly likely, but I should stress that there is no intelligence to suggest than an attack is imminent. "JTAC keeps the threat level under constant review and makes its judgments based on a broad range of factors, including the intent and capabilities of international terrorist groups in the UK and overseas." What the terror threat levels mean • Low - an attack is unlikely • Moderate - an attack is possible, but not likely • Substantial - an attack is a strong possibility • Severe - an attack is highly likely • Critical - an attack is expected imminently
