Northern Ireland terror threat level raised to 'severe' ahead of Biden visit.
TL;DR
The UK government has raised the terror threat level in Northern Ireland to "severe" ahead of an expected visit by US President Joe Biden to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. The domestic spy agency MI5 judged that the risk of an attack had gone from "substantial" to "severe", meaning an incident is judged "highly likely". The province stands transformed since the Good Friday Agreement was adopted on April 10, 1998, but a small number of people remain determined to cause harm to communities through acts of politically motivated violence.
