Irish terror threat to UK "worrying"

The mounting threat of an attack by dissident Irish republicans on mainland Britain was described as "worrying" by Northern Ireland's first minister, Peter Robinson, reports The Guardian.

Speaking after the British government announced that it was raising the threat level from Irish terrorists to "substantial", Robinson said the development underlined an urgent need for adequate police resources to stifle the resurgence of republican paramilitaries. His call follows nationalist claims that MI5 is not up to the task of monitoring a new generation of dissident terrorism.
