As reported exclusively by the British media The Sun This Sunday, there is a growing threat of attacks by ISIS “lone wolves”, which has led the intelligence agency MI5 to prepare for the level of threat in the country.
Chris Phillips, former UK counterterrorism chief, said the threat of an attack on British soil is “very real” in the coming months. This warning comes amid a resurgence of ISIS in Europe and the United States, which has put British security experts on high alert.
“Lone gangster jihadists”
One of the biggest risks identified by experts is “lone gangster jihadists”, radicalized individuals who could carry out violent attacks. Phillips warns that these individuals, some of whom have been released from prison, They represent a serious threat to the security of the United Kingdom.
Will Geddes, another leading security expert, has expressed concern and suggested that the threat level in the UK could increase in the coming months. Geddes highlights the importance of remaining alert to possible terrorist attacks, especially after specific threats aimed at events such as the Champions League quarter-finals.
Will warned: “I have a horrible feeling in my stomach that we are in a similar period as we were before 2017, which was a notable year of several different attacks.”
Recent events, such as the attack on Moscow by ISIS-K, have highlighted the persistent threat posed by extremist Islamic terrorism in Europe. This attack, which left more than 140 people dead, would underline the importance of maintaining constant vigilance and taking preventive measures to avoid future attacks, according to experts.
In addition to attacks carried out by terrorist groups, there is concern about so-called “lone wolves”, radicalized individuals acting on their own in the name of an extremist cause. These individuals, often difficult to detect by intelligence services, represent a unique challenge for security authorities.
An “increasing” threat
The British government has published reports highlighting the persistent terrorist threat in the country. As they explain, despite the efforts of intelligence agencies to thwart the attacks, the risk of a terrorist attack remains high, which would underline the importance of maintaining constant surveillance and a rapid response to possible threats.
Last year, the British government published a report on terrorism that said “the threat to the United Kingdom is relentless and evolving.”
They said 39 major terrorist plots had been foiled on British soil in just four years, but warned the threat was increasing.
In response to these growing concerns, additional measures are being taken to strengthen security in the United Kingdom. According to him he detailed The Sunauthorities are intensifying surveillance and coordinating closely with foreign intelligence agencies to share information and counter the terrorist threat.
As major events, such as the Paris Olympics, approach, authorities are increasing security at potential high-risk locations.
