Watch Thursday’s ITV News at Ten as police warn another terrorist attack is ‘highly likely’
The UK terrorism threat level has been raised to “severe” in the wake of the Golders Green stabbings, meaning a terror attack is “highly likely”.
The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre announced the decision on Thursday, a day after two Jewish men were stabbed in north London and in the wake of several attacks in Jewish neighbourhoods in recent weeks.
The body, which is based in MI5 but makes independent assessments, previously set the threat level at “substantial”, meaning an attack was “likely”.
Head of counter terrorism policing, Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, said that police will be reviewing “all events across the country” as a result.
