Predictions
Background
The system of threat levels has been created to keep informed about the level of threat the UK faces from terrorism at any given time. This system helps police and other law enforcement agencies decide how to allocate staff. The threat level represents the likelihood of an attack in the near future.
There are five levels of threat:
- critical - an attack is expected imminently
- severe - an attack is highly likely
- substantial - an attack is a strong possibility
- moderate - an attack is possible but not likely
- low - an attack is unlikely
The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) is responsible for setting the threat level from international terrorism. To do this, they consider information gathered through intelligence in the UK and abroad. They also consider how terrorist organisations have behaved in the past.
Last change of level took place on January 6, where the level was raised from Substantial to Severe. Will the level be changed before the end of February 2011?
