British authorities have thwarted five terrorist attacks in the past three to four months, the Metropolitan Police commissioner has confirmed. Some of them were “within minutes” of being carried out.
“Just in the last few weeks, five [have been foiled]. And overall, it’s well into the teens in the last couple of years where we know people were intent on attacking and that’s been stopped,” Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick told LBC radio on Friday, later clarifying that they were thwarted “over the last three to four months.”
“Some of them, we would say, were very close to an attack – very close,” she said.
