US embassy issues security alert to citizens in UK after Britain raises terrorist threat level to severe

The UK's Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre raised the national terrorist threat level from 'substantial' to 'severe' on Friday, the second-highest level indicating an attack within six months is 'highly likely'. The US embassy in London subsequently issued a security alert advising American citizens to avoid schools, churches, tourist locations and transportation hubs, vary travel routes and times, and remain alert in public places. The threat level change followed recent incidents including the stabbing of two Jewish men in London.

Both outlets report the same security alert and threat level raise, but Al Jazeera provides context on the stabbing incident and MI5's statement on gradual increase in threats, while Reuters focuses narrowly on the US cautionary message.
