Britain's terror threat level has been reduced from 'critical' to 'severe'. That means a terror attack is no longer imminent - but is still likely at any time. "It still means the authorities believe it is highly likely that there will be an attack at any moment," Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt said. The threat level was raised by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith on Saturday evening following the failed terror attacks on London and Glasgow. The decision to lower the threat level was made by the Joint Terrorism and Analysis Centre (JTAC), according to a statement by the Home Secretary. She said: "There is no intelligence to suggest that an attack is expected imminently. However, the reduction of the threat level to severe does not mean the overall threat has gone away.
"There remains a serious and real threat against the United Kingdom and I would again ask that the public remain vigilant."
