MI5 Warning: Al-Qaeda Spreading Operations Into New Countries

In a rare speech on Monday, the head of Britain’s intelligence service MI5, Jonathan Evans, said Al-Qaeda has been spreading its operations into new countries, with British-born extremists now being trained in places like Libya and Egypt.

Evans also warned that the UK was under threat from an “astonishing” number of cyber attacks.
