The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) is the organisation directly responsible for keeping the threat level under constant review. It makes its judgements based on a broad range of factors, not least the intent and capabilities of international terrorist groups in the UK and overseas.
Severe is the fourth of five threat levels to the UK from international terrorism, with the UK threat level reduced to ‘substantial’ last July for the first time in four years after a significant judgement was made that there had been a “chilling” effect on terrorism in and around Britain.
