The director-general of MI5 said the threat from terrorists was on a scale he had never seen in his 32-year career.
Britain faces an unprecedented terror threat from ISIS and Al-Qaeda fanatics plotting ‘mass casualty’ attacks over the internet, the head of MI5 warned.
In a rare public speech, Andrew Parker said the Security Service thwarted six UK terror attacks in the past year and several overseas.
In only his third speech since taking up the job in 2013, Mr Parker said terrorists were using a ‘bewildering array of devices and digital platforms’ to plot attacks, admitting MI5 had to carry out computer hacking against terror groups to access their communication networks.
He said internet firms also had an ‘ethical responsibility’ to help tackle terrorism.
Mr Parker said Britain was now facing a three-pronged threat – at home, overseas and online.
