LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has not raised its national terrorism threat level nor a separate threat gauge for airports and railway terminals, police said on Friday, after reports that security had been stepped up at transport hubs.
London's Metropolitan Police, the force responsible for coordinating counter-terrorism nationally, said it had no knowledge of the threat level being raised from "substantial" to "severe", the second highest level, at major airports and railway terminals, as reported by the BBC and other media.
