THE announced extra security measures to protect Christmas shoppers refers to increased threats from "international" terrorist attack but this incorrect (The Press, November 15).

The threat is not from overseas.

The atrocities we have seen this year perpetrated in London and Manchester were all carried out by residents of this country.

A bit of honesty about exactly where the threat is coming from would be a welcome change.
