"Northern Ireland's Terror Threat Level Raised to Severe by UK Authorities"

Britain's MI5 intelligence agency has raised the threat level for domestic terrorism in Northern Ireland to "severe" following the recent targeting of police officers. This means an attack is highly likely. The change comes ahead of next month's 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement peace deal that largely ended the "Troubles," three decades of violence that had convulsed Northern Ireland since the late 1960s. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any concerns to the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
