 Police warn of terror attacks ahead of Biden's visit. The Police Service of Northern Ireland has warned of potential terror attacks and public disorder over the Easter weekend, according to reports. The news comes just days before US President Joe Biden is due to visit the region with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Police Service of Northern Ireland Chief Constable Simon Byrne was cited as saying at a meeting that officers would be moved to frontline duties for extended shifts to counter any potential threats. He noted that he was being forced to employ policing strategies that hadn't been used for years, which reflected the exceptional circumstances ahead of this weekend. According to the Telegraph, Byrne stated that attacks are highly likely right across Northern Ireland and could target police officers and their families, as well as prison officers and military personnel. The authorities believe that dissident terrorists could resort to gun and bomb attacks he is said to have warned. Assistant Chief Constable Bobby Singleton stated that the Police Service of Northern Ireland has very strong community intelligence that attacks are being planned in Derry, London Derry, near the UK-Irish border on Easter Monday. That date will mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. Last month UK Intelligence Agency MI5 raised the terror threat level in Northern Ireland from substantial to severe, suggesting an attack is highly likely.
