Britain's terror threat level was dramatically raised to severe today amid fears that UK jihadists returning from Iraq and Syria could launch attacks.
The severe warning means an attack is “highly likely”, rather than the earlier assessment of substantial where a terror strike is “a strong possibility”. Home Secretary Theresa May stressed there was no intelligence to suggest an imminent attack.
After the decision by Britain’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, she added: “The increase in the threat level is related to developments in Syria and Iraq, where terrorist groups are planning attacks against the West.
“Some of those plots are likely to involve foreign fighters who have travelled there from the UK and Europe to take part in those conflicts. We face a real and serious threat in the UK from international terrorism. I urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.”
Scotland Yard Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe warned days ago that close to 200 potentially “militarised” fighters are back in London. He also proposed UK jihadists have their passports revoked to stop them returning here.
Islamic State have slaughtered thousands as they seized control of swathes of Syria and Iraq. They also beheaded US journalist James Foley, 40, in revenge for US air strikes in Iraq to stop the killings. Mr Foley and other hostages were guarded by a group of British jihadists, known as “The Beatles”, with one — “John”— featuring in the video of his killing.
I actually think this is not scare mongering but really could and probably WILL happen, probably more tube attacks, if it does it would imagine the next government with have a coalition involving UKIP.
of course it WILL happen. everything WILL happen. the next plane crash will happen. the next flood will happen. the next knife murder will happen. the next pile up on a motorway will happen. the next everything will happen. how do you propose that we all live in a bubble where nothing bad ever happens??

speaking to yourself acquiesce?, first sign of madness? you had no told to tell us you are a stupid phucking prat, your post rather proves it
bob is of course right
What evidence that anybody returning from Syria/Iraq has made any plot to harm us here a simple and obvious question
Scotland Yard Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe and Theresa May are making irresponsible statements with no proof...unless they can produce an evidence of at least one case so where is it?
as for 7/7 and Michael Adebolajo they were a direct of our invasion of Iraq..that is why they did what they did, in fact they said so so TONY BLAIR was responsible for those two acts, and other acts that have been foiled, nobody else
As for an IS , I don't believe there is a threat, because where is the motive? but of course if we to directly confront IS in Iraq then we would make ourselves a potential target, but not until then

incidentally I was defending 7/7 or Michael Adebolajo because I believe protests should be things like making placards and chaining yourself to fences, not killing yourself and others
so we fully entitled to condemn their actions

interesting view, the problem here is because people fight one injustice usually their own does not necessarily mean they are obligated to fight all others
we are all guilty of a bit of self interest
I don't think one person would have the capacity or time to fight all injustices in this world???????????????
also two wrongs never make a right

We did not create ISIS. Their creation has been inevitable since militant Sunni Islam was born of Sayed Qtub.
They do pose a threat to us. Their caliphate will not be enclosed by any border - it is their holy duty to extend its writ, through violence, throughout the world. What they are doing now is just a taste of what is to come unless they are stopped.
What Fifth Columnist idiots like you should realise is that your tacit support of their cause will do you no good should they realise their ambitions - you will convert, or die.
Lastly, Tony Blair did not murder Lee Rigby. Two religious nutjobs hacked off his head in broad daylight, just like four religious nutjobs blew up tubes and buses on 7/7. It is puerile fallacy to suggest that Blair was even remotely responsible.
You, sir, are an imbecile.

FOYSDC
You talk so much shyte it's untrue, look at your subsequent posts, looks like it's YOU that's it talking to yourself some of of the bollox you come out with is clearly meant just to provoke
Extremist see ALL land as GOD'S land, ALLAH'S land, they will wage war where they see fit, considering we are always at the forefront providing either aid or personnel in combating Muslim extremists than we will always be a target, it's more relevant right now because of IS. and the fcukwit plastic brits returning to the UK from fighting, that's why ALARM BELLS are ringing more loudly atm and why the the terror threat level has been raised to SEVERE, use your phucking brain ebulgery you weirdo.

Sica Dan • August 30, 2014 9:46 AM BST Is it really possible to travel to Syria join up with the rebels and after a few months say to the bad guys "I'm off back to London now"
actually it is, it happened, but before your time The Spanish Civil War, people travelled to Spain to fight on the side of either Fascism or Communism no one stopped them returning...although tbf they did not employ terrorist tactics
Also you say Tony Blair was innocent of 7/7,etc...well that is factually true....but you see he gave those guys a cause He decided we would attack Iraq because they threatened us with fictitious wmds...the real reason I still don't know... maybe he just likes killing Muslims..but sadly he forgot we have a Muslim population of our own Who got angry, so we ourselves a now a potential target for terrorism...it was stupidity I have rarely seen the equal of
You wonder why they hate us, well maybe it is because we invade their countries and kill them, perhaps??????????????
As for being an imbecile, well that may be true, but I am a better class of imbecile than some of the posters on here that is for sure I don't just attack posters, other posters attack me, because they can't counter my argument can they??????
ps although I admit I do heap a lot of sarcasm on people, yes I am guilty of that and trying to be too clever at times well none of us are perfect
