Northern Ireland terror threat level raised in Britain

[Hans Mann]

The threat level from Northern Ireland-related terrorism in Britain has been raised from moderate to substantial.

It means an attack in England, Scotland or Wales is "a strong possibility".

Home Secretary Theresa May said the level, set by security service MI5, "reflects the continuing threat from dissident republican activity".

The level for Northern Ireland-related terrorism in Northern Ireland remains at severe, meaning an attack is "highly likely".

At Easter the New IRA, the group responsible for the murder of prison officer Adrian Ismay in March, warned that its members were "determined to take the war to the age-old enemy of our nation".

The threat level for Northern Ireland-related terrorism was raised from moderate to substantial in 2010, then reduced back to moderate in 2012.

One has to ask the question, why are there so many terrorists in England? Is it self inflicted?

Not a lot, it just controls the worlds media, so a U.K terrorist attack is going to make the news, as the world is quiet rightly brainwashed that the English count for more than Johhny foreigner.
There's massive terror attacks taking place in places like the Congo and Nigeria. How many of those attacks are discussed on here.

There aren't so many. There were a lot more 30 years ago and nobody panicked then.

The reaction now is based on a lesson learned from the U.S. Get the people whipped up into a froth of fear, panic, and paranoia and pretty much any law can be passed and any freedom restricted in the name of "safety" and "security".

They all deserve each other.

Fuck 'em all.

There aren't

What there is is the perception of terrorists being everywhere pushed by the government to get more control and powers, and the media to aid them and sell more off their rags

WE'll all be murdered in our beds!

Pizza delivery driver shot dead in Belfast in third city gun attack in 24 hours had survived previous attempt on his life

A pizza delivery driver has been shot dead in Belfast in the third gun attack in the city in 24 hours.

Dan Murray was in his car taking food to a customer in the west of the city when he was shot at around 10pm last night.

The murder of Mr Murray - who was well known to police and had survived a previous attempt on his life - came after two men were shot in separate paramilitary-style attacks earlier the day.

Dan Murray was shot dead in Belfast last night. He previously survived being shot in the face in an attack

Earlier yesterday evening, a 17-year-old boy was shot several times in the leg in the north of the city.

Around 1am on Monday morning, a man in his twenties was shot in the back and buttocks in the same Belfast district.

Both were taken to hospital but, though seriously wounded, neither are believed to have suffered life threatening injuries.

Last year, the day's third victim, Mr Murray, was shot by members of paramilitary group 'Action Against Drugs' but a bullet traveled through his neck and he survived. He denied by a drug dealer,

PSNI Detective Superintendent Kevin Geddes said: 'The victim was shot inside a car and was taken to hospital, but was pronounced dead a short time later.

'We are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information about this terrible crime to get in touch with us.'

Stormont First Minister Arlene Foster and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness have condemned the 'barbaric' killing.

In a joint statement, they said: 'The shootings in Belfast yesterday were barbaric and wrong. We unreservedly condemn the actions of the perpetrators who care only for themselves.'

Bit of a different headline



the article does not say Drug Lord, but if you picture search, there it is.

So basically he's a dealer, a load of people who like killing people have decided they are going to kill drug dealers?

[Chittychangchang]

There's been shootings every night for the last couple of weeks in Liverpool!
Fear the Scouse terrorists..

[wasabi]

So what are they fighting for, a united Ireland.

[billy the kid]

Give folk a meaningful job with decent wages and all this pettiness will go away.

All major towns and cities will have this on their doorstep soon.

What did they expect.

Happy Days.

That's been going on forever. Where did you think the IRAs money came from, America? The IRA are very anti drug-dealers, drug dealers that don't pay their "taxes" that is. Every one of these Irish groups, nationalist or loyalist, is the same.
