MI5 Boss: IS Planning UK Mass Casualty Attacks

The head of MI5 has said the terror threat level facing Britain is the highest he has seen in his 32-year career.

Andrew Parker, director general of the Security Service, said six terror plots had been thwarted in the last year.

And during a speech in London on Wednesday, he also warned that so-called Islamic State (IS) is planning "mass casualty" attacks on Britain.

He described a "three dimensional threat" at home, overseas and online - with an increasing amount of MI5's casework linked to Syria and IS.

"It (IS) uses the full range of modern communications tools to spread its message of hate, and to inspire extremists, sometimes as young as their teens, to conduct attacks in whatever way they can"

And he warned the threat posed by IS - also known as ISIL - "shows no sign of abating" after more than 750 British extremists travelled to Syria.

Mr Parker also highlighted that al Qaeda groups in South Asia, the Arabian Peninsula and parts of Africa remain a threat.

The truth must be wrong because the truth is not politically correct... and he must be a racist for telling this truth...!
