Twice as many terror plots have been disrupted since the July 7, 2005, suicide bombings as has previously been made public, according to Britain’s security services, the Sunday Telegraph reports. Police raided properties in Birmingham last Wednesday after foiling an alleged plan to kidnap a British Muslim soldier. A further six plots, which have been kept secret until now for security reasons, had been planned by groups across Britain since the London Underground and bus bombings in 2005, Sean Rayment writes in the Sunday Telegraph. “The revelation demonstrates the scale of the task facing MI5 and the police, who are now discovering or disrupting some kind of terrorist plot in the United Kingdom every six weeks. Up to 12 plots of all kinds have been discovered in the past year and a half,” says the report. Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller, the director-general of MI5, revealed last November that there were an estimated 1,600 suspected terrorist involved in at least 200 networks in Britain. It is understood that details of the previously undisclosed plots have been kept secret because no arrests were made and many of those involved assumed that their plans had “ground to a halt” for “natural reasons”, such as a failure to acquire specific material.
