British PM warns of ‘very severe terrorist threat’
British Prime Minister David Cameron has warned of “a very severe threat” in the UK following Friday’s deadly terror attack in Tunisia, where over a dozen Britons were gunned down.
Cameron, who took part in the national Armed Forces Day event in Guildford, Surrey, called on Britons to keep calm, noting, “There’s no doubt we are under severe threat of terrorism. Today is about paying tribute to our Armed Forces. There will be heightened security at those events. The most important thing is to carry on and thanking our Armed Forces for the work they do, knowing in our country we face a severe terrorist threat.
“But if we work together, are vigilant and back our police and anti-terrorism forces,” British media outlets quoted him as saying.
Cameron’s comments follow Friday’s shooting in Tunisia where a gunman opened fire and killed at least 38 people on the beaches of Sousse on the northern Mediterranean coast.
The number of Britons killed in the attack continues to rise, with officials confirming that 15 of the victims were of British origin.
Now political commentator Raza Nadim believes that for “most of the issues in the Middle East and most of the issues in the Muslim world, you can point the finger directly back at England and the US for the instability that they caused.”
He said the UK needs to have an “ethical foreign policy” to help eliminate terrorism and extremism.
The UK’s terror threat level was raised to “severe” last August over the conflicts in Iraq and Syria. It is one level below “critical” when an attack is believed to be “imminent.”
