A total of 34 terrorist plots have been disrupted in the U.K. since the July 2005 bombings in London, the head of the domestic security service said.
“There have been persistent attempts of attacks of terrorism in this country,” Andrew Parker, the director general of the agency known as MI5, told Parliament’s cross-party Intelligence and Security Committee in London today. “A small number have failed because they just failed, the plans didn’t come together, but the vast majority were foiled.”
