Theresa May: Further attack may be imminent

British Prime Minister Theresa May has just announced the UK's terror threat level has been raised from "severe" to "critical", meaning another attack "may be imminent".

Ms May said: "This morning I said that the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, the independent organisation responsible for setting the threat level on the basis of the intelligence available, was keeping the threat level under constant review.

"It is now concluded on the basis of today's investigations that the threat level should be increased for the time being from 'severe' to 'critical'.

"This means that their assessment is not only that an attack remains highly likely, but that a further attack may be imminent."

Soldiers will be deployed on British streets in race to foil second terror attack



Up to 5,000 soldiers will be deployed on the streets amid fears that the 
Manchester suicide bomber had accomplices preparing further attacks, Theresa May has announced.

For the first time in 10 years, the Prime Minister raised the terror threat to the highest possible level, from 
severe to critical, meaning an attack 
is “expected imminently”.

Investigators fear that the British-born bomber Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old of Libyan descent, was part of a wider network of Isil-inspired terrorists, including a bomb-maker, who may still be at large.

Special Forces were deployed to Manchester ready to engage in the hunt for accomplices of Abedi, who killed 22 concert-goers in Britain’s worst terrorist atrocity for 12 years.

1. It seems unlikely unless it happens in another country

All the potential murderers in the UK have gone to ground in the hope no one will look at them very closely. When security is lightened a bit, one of them will pop up again.

They have arrested one of the bomber's associates. Now all they need to do is trace where their materials came from.

It worked in the election.
