Thirty-one late-stage attack plots were disrupted over the past four years by intelligence officers, the director-general of MI5 has said.

Ken McCallum said that the threat of terrorism in the UK remains “a real and enduring thing” and warned that recent events in Afghanistan could lead to a new 9/11-style attack plot.

He added: “We do face a consistent global struggle to defeat extremism and to guard against terrorism – this is real problem.”
