“UK terror threat now ‘critical’”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The UK’s national terrorism threat level has been raised to “critical” after attacks in Glasgow and London.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown urged the public to be vigilant and added: “I know the British people will stand together, united and resolute.”
The announcement came after a meeting of the government emergencies committee Cobra, following a burning car being driven into a Glasgow airport terminal.
On Friday, two car bombs were found in central London.
Ministers, police and security service officials held their third meeting of Cobra in three days on Saturday evening, this time with a video link to ministers in Scotland.
In a televised statement, Mr Brown thanked the police, the security and emergency services for the “dedicated professionalism” that has been shown in London and Glasgow Airport.
“The first duty of the government is the security and safety of all the British people, so it is right to raise the level of security at airports and in crowded places in the light of the heightened threat,” he said.

The critical threat level indicates terrorist attacks are imminent. It is the highest possible level and was also in place after the 7 July 2005 suicide bomb attacks on London.
Security has also been tightened at airports across the US following the attempted attacks.”
