Top terror officer’s grim warnings
ON THIS YEAR’S ATTACKS:
‘This was truly a summer like no other, it was truly a shift and not a spike, it is truly a new norm that we face’
ON ‘THE THREAT IN OUR MIDST’:
‘We stopped a lot of our jihadis travelling ... if they cannot travel then why not attack here?’
ON HOMEGROWN ATTACKERS:
‘Segregated, isolated communities, unregulated education and home schooling are a breeding ground for extremist and future terrorists’
ON BORDER SECURITY:
‘Borders and ports are porous. There is a lack of biometrics and advanced passenger information. Our borders are not badly controlled but nevertheless they are still vulnerable’
