Police chief: Attack highly likely

An attack on the UK is highly likely and could occur without warning at any time, Britain's most senior police officer has warned.

Sir Paul Stephenson said it was vital that communities remained vigilant and urged members of the public to "trust their instincts" and report "any suspicious behaviour which may be terrorist-related".

"Vigilance should be our watchword," the Metropolitan Police commissioner added.

In his first speech since returning to work after surgery, Sir Paul said the "severe" threat from international terrorism was "not a bureaucratic description, but rather a factual assessment of the reality of the threat we face".

"To be blunt it means that an attack is highly likely and could occur without warning at any time.

"As Government, the police and the security service assess the impact and consequences of the death of Osama bin Laden, it is clear that there can be no let up in our vigilance."
