Counterterrorism forces in the UK currently have around 800 active investigations. Al Qaeda and ISIS (Islamic State) terror gorups are still reported to be planning attacks. In fact, an ISIS-plotted attack on a public gathering in the UK was foiled just last month.
Arab News Home Secretary Suella Braverman is set to announce a relaunch of the counterterrorism strategy Contest this week. According to the Contest review, which is launching on Tuesday, Islamic terrorism still accounts for three-quarters of the caseload at MI5.
Counterterrorism forces in the UK currently have around 800 live investigations and made 169 arrests for Islamic terror-related offenses in 2022, the Sunday Times report added.
In her speech, Braverman will say: “Islamic terrorism remains the predominant threat, terrorism is becoming increasingly unpredictable, making cases harder to detect and investigate.”
An ISIS-planned attack on a public gathering in the UK was foiled last month after the plot was uncovered by Iraqi troops who raided and killed dozens of militants in Iraq.
In an interview with the Daily Mirror, Gen. Abdul Wahab Al-Saadi, Iraq’s most senior counterterrorism officer, said ISIS was “talking to UK-based terrorists and we know what they are planning.”
He described the endeavor, which was to be carried out by UK-based British nationals, as “a big attack,” adding: “I can tell you that from the information we found at the site of one of our recent raids the next intended (terrorist) attack will be in the United Kingdom.”

Islamic terrorism? No, it can’t be. It is the threat of right wing, white terrorists. Anywhere, everywhere and at all times. Sarcasm off.

Sooner or later there will be another major Muslim terror attack in Europe, UK or the US. Maybe that will shut the leftist traitors up for awhile, but probably not. They’ll link it to white supremacist collaborators.
The Tasmanian Devil says
Shhhhh…don’t tell anyone, but the threat of Islamic terrorism in the USA, aided and abetted by open borders AND COMPLIANT POLITICIANS, is still the biggest threat to national security

This should show all that nothing and i do mean nothing will be done, no matter all of the nice contracts with thunesia or whoever. They all sighned the migrationpackts, that they are not legal dont matter all are making the packts legal and that is why nothing will happen. Should now something happen then its too late to change the flow then europe alone has a load and little germany alone has over 14.5 million in it as of now and daily the count goes so 4.000 up. We have cities in europe were the migrant places the majority and in our schools its the same so what will we save??. We can only make the taking over as expensive as hell but thats it. Funny how Israel fights for her land and the politics here give our land away freely, go figure that one out.
Hitler was so close to victory says
Exactly. So much bs and no balls.

In her speech, Braverman will say: “Islamic terrorism remains the predominant threat, terrorism is becoming increasingly unpredictable, making cases harder to detect and investigate.”
If Braverman believes what she said, why are the boats from France not stopped and if they do not turn around, why are they not sunk. Any moron with an IQ of at least sixty would have to understand that these boat loads of military age males are not there to benefit the UK.

Once again, READ THE DAMM MIGRATIONPACKTS and your questions will all be answered. The answers to all these questions are in these packts and i wonder why no one reads them but all ask stupid questions, read and learn.
