This comes just a week after the United Kingdom and the United States warned of possible terrorist attacks in Nigeria.
Given the nature of the attack, the UK government stated on its website in an updated advisory, “The main threat comes from individuals who may have been inspired by terrorist ideology to carry out so-called ‘lone actor’ attacks targeting public events or places.” Attacks could occur with little or no warning.”
In response to this alert, the UK government stated that the US may deploy security agents in public places to prevent an attack.
“The US Department of Homeland Security makes credible threats available to the public.” Expect increased law enforcement presence and tight security at public places and events. This could include increased police presence, bag restrictions and searches, and the use of screening technologies.
“There is a heightened threat of terrorist attacks worldwide against UK interests and British nationals, motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria.” You should be extra cautious at this time,” it added.
