The head of MI5 warns of the threat from Britons fighting in Syria and says security leaks have been a "gift" to terrorists. Britain will face at least one attempted major terror attack every year for the next few years, the head of MI5 has warned. In his first speech since taking over the Security Service in April, Andrew Parker told a private audience at the Royal United Services Institute: "Since 2000, we have seen serious attempts at major acts of terrorism in this country typically once or twice a year. "That feels to me, for the moment, unlikely to change." Among the reasons for this are the increasing numbers of Britons going to Syria to try and become jihadists. In his off-camera speech, Mr Parker said: "A growing proportion of our casework now has some link to Syria, mostly concerning individuals from the UK who have travelled to fight there or who aspire to do so. "Al Nusrah and other extremist Sunni groups there aligned with al Qaeda aspire to attack Western countries." http://news.sky.com/story/1151954/mi5-boss-warns-of-growing-uk-terror-threat
Sure, everyone knows that they can do it quick and easy and why bums from MI5 worry about this problem at all?
Well because British people, I guess muslims are going to join terrorist groups in another country. The same happened in Libya. I see it as more of a threat to other countries in the region rather than the UK, but still at threat none the less. If I went to Northern Ireland and joined the UVF, I would expect the UK government to be tracking me trying to find out what I was doing.
It has been a while since the last post but I do not find this surprising. I remember hearing about these Sharia patrols or something in London by some radical Muslim group. The fact that such a thing exists over there to me is evidence that there is probably quite a lot of extremist beliefs in existence in the UK.
