Nine Islamist terrorist plots foiled in UK in past year, MI5 says
A total of nine Islamist terrorist plots have been thwarted in the UK over the past year, the director general of MI5 has told Britain’s Cabinet.
Andrew Parker told Theresa May and her senior ministers that the defeat of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria did not mean the terror threat was over, warning that social media was being used to encourage attacks in the UK and elsewhere.
