نزاعات · التهديدات الأمنية في المملكة المتحدةتضاعف ملفات التهديدات المرتبطة بالدول لدى MI5 أربع مرات مع تجربة الإرهابيين طائرات مسيّرة تعمل بالذكاء الاصطناعيكُتب 17 أكتوبر 2026 في 8:28 م UTCشاهدالنص المفرّغ0:07On October 9th, we reported seven Fairford suspects were on bail.0:10Britain now blames Iran.0:12All seven remain on bail without charges.0:14Meanwhile, MI5 says terrorists have tried using AI-enabled drones alongside a0:19sharply larger foreign state workload.0:21The targets range from places of worship to factories and military sites.0:25How far has terrorist use of AI gone, and what is MI5 changing to meet it?0:29MI5 Director General Sir Ken McCallum delivered his annual assessment at Thames0:34House on October 13th.0:35He described a service confronting Russian and Iranian operations while still0:39investigating terrorism.0:41China also remains among its principal state concerns.0:44McCallum said MI5's state threat caseload has grown fourfold over the past decade.0:49That measures the investigations occupying the service.0:52State threat work now runs at roughly the same scale as counterterrorism, putting0:56two demanding operational missions alongside each other.0:59He said MI5 now commits more resources to countering state threats than during the1:03Cold War.1:04His comparison concerns the service's allocation of resources.1:07He expressly avoided ranking today's overall national danger above every period1:11since the Second World War.1:12McCallum called Russia the leading aggressor.1:15He described sabotage, cyber operations, and attempted violence alongside campaigns1:20exploiting political divisions.1:21He said Russian services are escalating these tactics while trying to stay below the1:25threshold that would trigger NATO's collective defense.1:27He cited a cyber attack on Polish energy infrastructure in Germany.1:31An attempt to destroy a cargo plane with an explosive-laden drone went wrong.1:36In the United States, an assassination plot was thwarted.1:39These examples show how far the campaign reaches.1:42Almost 1,000 expulsions internationally since Russia invaded Ukraine have severely1:46reduced its traditional covert network, McCollum said.1:49He described Moscow turning to paid criminals and inexperienced volunteers,1:53including the GRU Volunteer Corps linked to Russian military intelligence, that1:57recruitment can bring foreign state operations into ordinary workplaces and2:01communities.2:02He also described attempted election interference and online efforts to deepen2:06divisions.2:07He distinguished those attempts from actually achieving the electoral result Moscow2:10wanted.2:11Joshua Kamage faces charges over alleged preparations to sabotage a drone factory in2:15Swindon.2:16Prosecutors allege he assisted a foreign intelligence service and had contact with2:20someone linked to the GRU Volunteer Corps.2:22He denies the alleged Russian-linked plan.2:24He was charged in September under the National Security Act.2:27That law came into force in 2023 and had been used for dozens of arrests in its2:32first three years.2:33His case is heading toward a trial next April.2:35McCallum said, Iranian ambitions have expanded toward harder targets, including2:39military sites such as Fairford.2:41Jewish communities, Iranian dissidents, and Iranian media workers also face threats.2:46The Manchester proceedings concern alleged targeting of a synagogue and the city's2:49Jewish museum.2:50The count has been put at 50 and more than 50.2:53McCallum said more than 50 UK arrests in Iran-linked operations over 12 months.2:58Each arrest represents a step in an investigation.3:00The cases still have to be tested.3:02Salima Madian and Rahman Sullahi, both Iranian nationals, were arrested on September3:0720 and charged on October 2nd.3:09They face accusations of preparing terrorist acts against Manchester's Jewish3:13community.3:14Both have been remanded in custody while the proceedings continue.3:17Prosecutors allege the planning involved a homemade explosive device and3:21reconnaissance of Heaton Park Synagogue and Manchester Jewish Museum.3:24They also allege contact with an overseas third party assessed as likely to be in3:28Iran.3:28Those allegations await trial.3:30Police found petrol or accelerant in vans linked to the initial Fairford arrests.3:34They found no explosives.3:35The seven men arrested were all in their 20s.3:38Their bail status remained unchanged through October 17th as the investigation3:42continued.3:43The seventh suspect, a 22-year-old British national, was arrested in Westminster on3:47October 6 on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.3:50Police announced his release on strict bail conditions on October 8th.3:54Prime Minister Andy Burnham told Parliament on October 12th that the suspected3:58Fairford plot was highly likely coordinated in Iran.4:01He said it was almost certainly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard.4:04That remains the government's intelligence assessment.4:07The Home Secretary also referred to a known individual based in Iran.4:11McCallum said Fairford was one of several examples in Britain and elsewhere.4:15He withheld operational details because the investigation was live.4:19Iran rejected involvement.4:20Ambassador Said Ali Muzavi demanded evidence supporting Britain's accusation.4:25The foreign ministry summoned the British ambassador and warned that bilateral4:29relations could be reconsidered.4:31It also said Iran was willing to cooperate with the investigation.4:35Terran accused Britain of diverting attention from its own role in operations4:38against Iran.4:40The criminal investigation continues while the two governments maintain opposing4:43positions on responsibility.4:45MI5 says it has caught terrorists trying to use AI to improve surveillance and4:49attack methods, including through AI-enabled drones.4:51McCallum described attempts to exploit the technology.4:54He also said AI is already intensifying the contest between cyber attackers and4:58defenders.5:01AI can produce propaganda and radicalizing material tailored to an individual, he5:05warned.5:06Those capabilities can change how extremists persuade people, scout potential5:10targets, and prepare violence.5:12His greatest concern about deliberate misuse reaches further.5:15McCallum warned that AI could help people with limited expertise develop or improve5:19biological weapons if safeguards fail.5:22He explicitly said that scenario hasn't happened.5:24MI5 is preparing for a possible capability that could make future attacks easier.5:29McCallum also raised a different future concern, whether advanced AI systems will5:33reliably follow human intentions.5:35Researchers call that the alignment problem.5:38He said the prospect of facing a system capable of outthinking humans deserves5:42serious attention, including inside MI5.5:44The Joint Terrorism Analysis Center raised the UK threat level to severe on April5:4930th.5:49The change was announced on May 1 and it remained severe when McCallum spoke.5:53Severe means an attack is highly likely.5:55The previous level, substantial, had been in place since February 2022.6:00McCallum said extreme right-wing terrorism contributed significantly to the6:04increase.6:05He described more cases where anti-immigration and anti-Muslim grievances tipped6:09into terrorist intent, including threats toward mosques and asylum venues.6:13MI5 investigated a radicalized extreme right thirteen-year-old in Britain a few6:17months before the speech.6:18McCallum said information from that investigation helped an international partner6:22prevent a lethal attack.6:23He didn't identify the child or the country involved.6:26He described these cases as increasingly young and heavily shaped online.6:30Al-Qaeda and Islamic State also continued to direct and inspire attacks.6:34The address included completed prosecutions showing threats against both Jewish and6:39Muslim communities.6:40Three Islamist extremists were convicted in February of planning an automatic6:43weapons mass shooting against Manchester's Jewish community.6:46Separately, a 16-year-old from Inverclyde received a ten-year sentence for6:50attempting an attack on his local Islamic center.6:53The February convictions concern an earlier case separate from Ahmadian and Salehi's6:57pending proceedings.6:58MI5's response now includes a new structure intended to keep its understanding of7:02technology abreast of the threats.7:04MI5 launched its AI Threat Assessment Center during 2026.7:09Housed inside the service, it brings together expertise from the AI Security7:13Institute, National Crime Agency, and National Cybersecurity Center.7:17Its assessments aim to distinguish exaggerated claims from real capabilities.7:21MI5, MI6, GCHQ, and the AI Security Institute are also working together on AI7:27security risks.7:28Alongside that work, MI5 has made protection and national resilience called PROTECT,7:33its third core mission beside counterterrorism and countering state threats.7:36Interconnected financial systems, energy grids, supply chains, and manufacturing7:40bases can be disrupted or coerced.7:42McCallum called for government, industry, universities, and the public to help7:46strengthen them.7:47Protective agencies provide advice on sabotage, drones, and cyber risks.7:51That work includes the National Protective Security Authority and National7:55Cybersecurity Center.7:56McCallum also called for stronger community resilience against attempts to divide8:00people, sometimes helped by polarizing algorithms.8:03The technological part includes assessing human misuse of AI and future risks from8:08AI systems themselves.8:09MI5 has already encountered attempted AI misuse and launched a center to assess8:13changing capabilities.8:15Its biological weapons concern remains prospective.8:18In the active criminal cases, the next legal steps will test specific allegations8:22about people and places.8:23Ahmadian and Salehi are due at the Old Bailey on October 23.8:27Camage has a pre-trial hearing in January.8:30His three-week trial over the alleged Swindon sabotage plan is scheduled to begin at8:34Winchester Crown Court on April 19, 2027.اقرأ المقالالتسلسل الزمني للقصةHeyDexالمقطع القصير ↗من نقل ماذانقاط نقلتها أكثر من وسيلة إعلامية✓How state-related threats changed over the past decadeمؤكد من مصادر
