In a rare public speech on Tuesday the spy chief said: “That threat is multi-dimensional, evolving rapidly and operating at a scale and pace we’ve not seen before.” adding that “It’s at the highest tempo I have seen in my 34-year career. Today there is more terrorist activity, coming at us more quickly, and it can be harder to detect.”
Press TV reports: Elaborating on the scale of the problem, Parker said his agency along with police have prevented seven attacks by terrorists over the course of the past seven months.
Twenty major acts have been stopped in the past four years and 379 suspects have been identified and arrested in the first six months of this year, he added.
Extremist “terrorism is an acute and enduring challenge that requires a sustained and comprehensive approach,” Parker noted.
He also blamed the internet for the increase in the number of terrorists, saying, “They can go online to get explosives and learn how to build a bomb.”

Does he meant “gladio white card” in “europe” (before brexit) or any isr-aliens presures ?
He blames the internet, but not the Islamic immigrants that are doing it. So, even in a nation where the citizens can’t own guns, something other than the perps themselves will get the blame! Ridiculous, now they will start restricting the internet over there too. If you’re not a government employee, no internet for you!
