UK Terror Threat Level to Severe: JTAC Warns of Highly Likely Attack

0:00On April 30, UK's terror threat level is about to jump from substantial to severe after those brutal double-stabings in Golders Green. Officials expect the announcement today from the Joint Terrorism Analysis Center, signaling an attack is now highly likely. This comes right on the heels of two Jewish men getting knifeed yesterday. The stabings cap off a string of attacks targeting the Jewish community in recent weeks. These had to taser the suspect to stop him, and both victims are stable now. JTAC, working with MI5, bases these calls on solid intel about terror groups' plans and capabilities. Threat levels haven't budged in four years, even with other incidents popping up. Last time it hit severe, was November 2021. After that, Liverpool Women's Hospital bombing by a failed asylum seeker. They dropped it to substantial in February 2022. Liverpool means an attack is likely, but severe kicks it up to highly likely.

1:00The second highest rung. Only critical sits above, for threats right around the corner. These reviews have been regularly to keep the public in the loop. With tensions rising, authorities are on high alert, urging folks to stay vigilant with our panic. This shift underscores the real risks, building across the board.
