SUMMARY

MI5's Director General, Ken McCallum, revealed that 75% of terror threats in the UK are of Islamist origin, with Iran linked to over 20 deadly plots in the past two years. He noted a resurgence of ISIS and Al Qaeda, stating that “Al Qaeda had sought to capitalise on conflict in the Middle East, calling for violent action.”

The threat includes organized overseas groups that are increasingly active in the UK, as shown by recent investigations and arrest cases, including a man jailed for designing a drone for ISIS.
