UK upgrades terror threat for Qatar to ‘general’
In an unusual move, the British government has upgraded its terrorism threat warning for Qatar from ‘underlying’ to ‘general.’
The United Kingdom’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) explained that there is ‘some level of known terrorism activity.’ Earlier, Qatar had been considered to be having an ‘underlying’ risk of terrorism.
FCO has warned British nationals in Qatar to ‘maintain a high level of security awareness.’ It has also warned that potential attacks could be ‘indiscriminate, including places visited by foreigners.’
Despite upping the terror level, it has not specifically asked people not to travel to Qatar.
“On November 1, we amended our Travel Advice for Qatar. We keep our travel advice under constant review. Our advice makes clear that there is a general threat from terrorism in Qatar. We do not advise against travel to any part of Qatar,” A spokeswoman for the British Embassy in Doha told Arabian Business.
There are around 17,500 Britons living in Qatar.
When they are aware of the latest situation we feel safer ....... so we are under better care than before ..........
The current threat level for international terrorism in the UK is severe, meaning an attack is highly likely. There is only one level above severe: critical – which means an attack is expected imminently. The threat level has been at severe since August 2014.
now what should be the message for people living in UK?
