Olympic Security: MI5 Chief Jonathan Evans Warns Over 'Unexpected' Threat | |
djdandew1 (OP) User ID: 6418212 United Kingdom 06/26/2012 04:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | MI5 chief: Arab Spring will lead to rise in British terrorists There is a growing threat of Britons being radicalised and attending terrorist training camps in the Middle East and north Africa following the Arab Spring, the head of MI5 has warned. The director general of the Security Service told an audience at Mansion House that there were at least 200 British residents and nationals at training camps that MI5 knew of. He warned that the 'radical transition' that took place in the Arab world over the last year meant the situation 'could get worse'. 'Today parts of the Arab world have once more become a permissive environment for al-Qaeda,' Mr Evans said. 'A small number of British would-be jihadis are also making their way to Arab countries to seek training and opportunities for militant activity, as they do in Somalia and Yemen. 'Some will return to the UK and pose a threat here.' He continued: 'This is a new and worrying development and could get worse as events unfold. 'So we will have to manage the short-term risks if there is to be a longer-term reward from the Arab Spring.' The spy chief, who said the UK had foiled at least one credible terrorist plot every year since September 2001, highlighted Yemen, Libya, Nigeria and Egypt as countries of particular concern. He added that the death of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan last year had not lowered the terror threat from that country. 'In back rooms and in cars and on the streets of this country there is no shortage of individuals talking about wanting to mount terrorist attacks here,' Mr Evans said in his first speech since September 2010. 'The threat is real and remains with us today. 'But we do see a changing shape of the threat internationally. 'We appear to be moving from a period of a deep and focused threat to one where the threat is less monolithic but wider.' Mr Evans, who warned it was impossible to guarantee the safety of the London 2012 Olympics, said there was also a growing threat from terrorism-related cyber-attacks. 'So far, established terrorist groups have not posed a significant threat in this medium, but they are aware of the potential to use cyber vulnerabilities to attack critical infrastructure and I would expect them to gain more capability to do so in future,' he said.
