The terrorist threat level in Northern Ireland is rising from “substantial” to “severe”, meaning an attack is very likely, British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Chris announced on Tuesday. Heaton-Harris.
The decision to change the threat level was taken by the UK security service, MI5.
Heaton-Harris said the move followed an increase in “terror-related activities relating to Northern Ireland”, including the attempted murder of a police officer last month. While the public should “remain vigilant,” they should not be alarmed, he said.
“Northern Ireland’s political future depends on the democratic will of the people and not on the violent actions of a few. Together, we will ensure that there is no return to past violence,” added Heaton-Harris.
