Islamic State aims to carry out “devastating” and “more complex attacks” on Europe despite its territorial losses in the Middle East, the head of MI5 will warn on Monday. Since 2016, there have been 45 attacks in Europe. On Saturday, one person was killed and four others injured in Paris in a knife attack claimed by IS. Parker will underline the importance of European collaboration, and will point out that “in today’s uncertain world we need that shared strength more than ever”. Parker will single out a coalition of domestic security services known as the Counter Terrorism Group, saying it is the “largest multinational counter-terrorism enterprise in the world” where “real-time intelligence sharing” involves “thousands of exchanges on advanced secure networks every week”.
