MI5, the United Kingdom’s domestic counterintelligence and security agency, has raised the terrorism threat level in Northern Ireland from “substantial” to “severe,” meaning an attack is highly likely.

The decision, announced by UK Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Chris Heaton-Harris on Tuesday, comes days before a possible visit to the country by President Biden. Biden’s visit would coincide with the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, also known as the Belfast Agreement, which brought an end to decades of sectarian violence between Irish republicans and unionists.

Heaton-Harris told CNN that the move was made after an uptick in “activity relating to Northern Ireland-related terrorism.

Wars follow Obama and Biden like the plague. They are right to be on edge.

Who in Norn Iron wants to hit Biden? I thought the IRA etc were no longer a factor.

Or is it more a matter of general anti-Americanism attracting terrorists everywhere?

Not the diaper, but, Biden's policies, which have been destroying and terrorizing Americas for more than 2 years. Like Covid, it's feared that the Biden contagion will make the Irish and all Europeans sick. But, the Europeans have been suffering from the same kind of illness as American, but, the woke policies and economic policies of the U.S., tent to make the whole world sick.

The IRA is Marxist-Leninist and now the largest party in popularity in all of Ireland as Sinn Fein. Joe goes to celebrate the triumph of Sinn Fein IRA in the “Good Friday Agreement” Bill Clinton insisted on.

“Biden is clearly the biggest threat to the free world”.

You’re right about him being a dangerous threat but there is no longer any “free world”.
