WHAT TO LOOK FOR
The terrorist threat is serious and ongoing. Members of the public can help to prevent terrorism by being alert to possible suspicious activities.
Terrorists have to live somewhere, and they need to plan and prepare for attacks. They buy and store materials, fund their activities, move around, prepare equipment and weapons and possibly undergo training. They may have people helping them - and these people might come and go at strange times of the day and night. They may make unusual financial transactions or use false documents to hide their real identities. They may be behaving differently to how you’ve known them to behave in the past. Members of the public may spot such activities, and if reported in time, a planned terrorist attack may be stopped before it happens.
If you are aware of something suspicious, trust your instincts and report it to the police. What might seem insignificant on its own could actually provide a vital link in a wider investigation.

TERRORISM
Terrorism presents a serious and sustained threat to the United Kingdom and UK interests abroad.
International terrorism from groups such as Al Qaida present a threat on a scale not previously encountered. Drawing on extremist messages presented by figures such as Usama bin Laden, Al Qaida and its related networks seek to carry out terrorist attacks around the world, aiming to carry out “high impact” attacks causing mass civilian casualties.
Northern Ireland-related terrorism continues to pose a serious threat to British interests. Although a peace process has been active for several years, dissident Irish republican terrorist groups oppose the peace process and continue to attack economic and political targets.
Other domestic extremist groups, unrelated to the Northern Ireland situation, may aspire to campaigns of violence but lack developed terrorist capabilities. For the most part, they pose a threat to public order but not to national security.
For detailed guidance on how to protect your business from the threat of terrorism, please see the website of the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (new window).
