MI5 Chief Warns of Evolving Terror and State Threats 25 Years After 9/11PreviousNext

Marking 25 years since the 9/11 attacks, MI5 Director General Ken McCallum warned that future strategic shocks may arise unexpectedly, differing from past threats. While al-Qaeda remains a diminished but persistent danger, new challenges include state-backed aggression such as cyberattacks and sabotage. McCallum emphasized the need for collaboration among governments, businesses, academia, and the public to address evolving security risks and urged a shared responsibility for national security in a more complex threat environment.
