The threat level for terrorism in Britain has been reduced from critical to severe, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Saturday.

The change indicates an attack is highly likely, rather than imminently expected, BBC reported.

It came as police evacuated an area of Moss Side in Manchester, as part of a search linked to Monday's bomb attack.

Police are continuing their investigation into the Manchester Arena bombing, which killed 22 people and injured 116 others.

Eleven people are now being held in connection with the Manchester bombing, local media reported.
