Islamist terrorist groups in the UK could get a “boost” after the death of Hamas’s leader, a former head of MI6 has said.
Yahya Sinwar, the chief architect of the October 7 attack on Israel which murdered about 1,200 people in the south of the country, was killed by the IDF on Wednesday.
Sir John Sawers, who led the UK’s foreign intelligence agency between 2009 and 2014, told Sky News that “Islamic terrorism may actually get a further boost, if that’s the right word, from events in the Middle East”.
It’s getting harder to recall a time when the west did not have to worry about Muslim terrorists.
