Homegrown Terrorist Threat Highlighted

The convictions this week of ‘home-grown’ terrorists in the UK brings into focus the insider threat to society. The details of the group’s training and other activities revealed after the convictions showed that terrorists are now conducting training and team-building activities on home soil without the previously common requirement to travel overseas to training camps. Telephone conversations, also released to the media, indicated that terrorist groups have a wish to cause large-scale civilian casualties.

Developing trends in terrorism such as this (and risk mitigation) are of concern to us all and are covered in detail during our Security Management Courses. If you want to know more contact Janet.
