UK terror threat level downgraded

The terrorist threat level has been downgraded from "severe" to "substantial", Home Secretary Alan Johnson said.

That means the official assessment of the danger of an attack in the near future has shifted from "highly likely" to a "strong possibility".

Mr Johnson said the country still faces a "real and serious" threat from terrorists and urged members of the public to remain vigilant.
