LONDON (AP) -- Britain's government has raised the nation's terror threat level from ''substantial'' to ''severe,'' meaning such an attack is considered highly likely.


A ''substantial'' threat level means there is a strong possibility of an attack. ''Severe'' is the second highest level of alert in Britain.


In announcing the change Friday, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said: ''This means that a terrorist attack is highly likely, but I should stress that there is no intelligence to suggest than an attack is imminent.''


He did not identify any terrorist groups or countries that had raised Britain's suspicions, but earlier this week Britain suspended direct flights to Yemen's capital in response to the growing threat from al-Qaida-affiliated militants based in the country.

Be careful out there!

" WASHINGTON D.C. (AP) --The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability. "

Brilliant!

Exactly...Instead of focusing on keeping radical Muslim extremists off of airplanes and disrupting their terror networks, let's just needlessly scare our customers from flying and hurt the airlines more.

Hey Dude...You want to open a Nathan's with me when we lose our jobs...People will still need to eat...
