That means that a terrorist attack is highly likely, but there is no intelligence to suggest that an attack is imminent. The increase in the threat level is related to developments in Syria and Iraq where terrorist groups are planning attacks against the West. Some of those plots are likely to involve foreign fighters who have travelled there from the UK and Europe to take part in those conflicts.</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 01/10/2014 13:26:39 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 17950 answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
