Britain: country in threat of terrorism, Cabinet minister says

Security services cannot completely eliminate the threat of terrorism, Reid said, according to excerpts released before his address to the Demos think tank.

Reid linked the threat to the increased mobility and migration of people since the end of the Cold War, the AP reports.
