What are the chances of an Al-Qaeda strike in the UK?

Jason Burke (Author) gives expert video advice on: Are we in imminent danger?; Why do Al Qaeda target civilians?; What is our foreign policy doing to our domestic security? and more...

There is a strong chance that at some stage, in the next however many years, there will be another militant attack that is successful in the UK. Every 3-6 months, we see another attack that has been uncovered, some of which are more serious threats than others, but all of which indicate that there is activity. There is activity that is aimed at a terrorist attack. And eventually one of those is likely to get through, as it is likely to get through in many countries elsewhere in Europe. And that is something we have just going to live with, as we lived with our Republican terrorism through the 70's and 80's. That is a reality that we are going to live with for the unforeseeable future.
