ISIS terror threat 'is highest since days of IRA,' UK terror laws watchdog says

Published February 26, 2017

Islamic State militants are planning "indiscriminate attacks" on UK citizens on a scale similar to those perpetrated by the IRA 40 years ago, the new terrorism watchdog has said.

Max Hill QC, the new Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, warned that Islamists were targeting UK cities and said there was an "enormous ongoing risk which none of us can ignore".

But Mr Hill, who successfully prosecuted the failed 7/12 bombers, praised the intelligence services' "truly remarkable" success rate for foiling plots since the 2005 London bombings.
