The Northern Ireland Office has reintroduced an anti-terrorism advertising series on television as the security situation continues to deteriorate.

The advertisement, which was screened last night, had to be shown after 9 p.m. as it depicts a murder and shows an open coffin. It appeared regularly on screens three years ago.

Its relaunch marks a dramatic change from the upbeat `Time for the Bright Side' campaign two years which featured bouncing babies and Van Morrison's Days Like This.
