Terrorism
The Home Office, the Security Service (MI5), the Police and other agencies are constantly engaged in keeping the UK safe from the threat of terrorism.
The investigation into the terrorist bomb attacks in London on 7 July, which claimed 56 lives and injured several hundred, is on-going, but the nature of the incidents indicates that they are consistent with international terrorism.
The incidents on 21 July, though not resulting in any significant casualties, have underlined the need for maintaining a state of heightened awareness in response to the threat.
Members of the public should always remain alert to the danger of terrorism and report any suspicious activity to the police.
If your information does not relate to an imminent threat, you can also contact the Security Service.
