-->U.K. Raises Its Terror Threat Level to 'Severe' in Response to ISIL

The United Kingdom has raised its terror threat level to "severe" in response to the advances of the Islamic State, Prime Minister David Cameron announced on Friday.

Cameron, in a televised statement from London, said it was the first time in three years that the nation's threat level had been that high. It had previously been at "substantial."

A "severe" threat level means an attack is "highly likely," Cameron said, although he did not cite specific intelligence.
