UK raises terror threat to 'severe', Cameron says 'attack likely' ― RT UK
ISIS poses a “greater and deeper threat to our security than we’ve seen before” said Prime Minister David Cameron. His statement follows a decision to raise the UK's terror threat level from "substantial" to "severe" over events in Iraq and Syria.
Fighting the Islamic State is “a generational struggle” against a “poisonous ideology” Cameron said, adding the UK “must respond calmly and with purpose” to a “greater and deeper threat to our security than we’ve seen before.”
Cameron said the root cause of the terrorist threat is “the poisonous narrative of Islamist extremism.”
He stressed a distinction must be made between the Islamic faith and extremist political ideology, which he said must be defeated at its root.
