An MI5 agent was allegedly recruited by a terrorist mastermind in Syria and sent back to Britain in a plot to launch a devastating attack against his handlers.
The agent was recruited by MI5 as an undercover informant within the radical Islamic community and he then travelled to Syria where he became part of a jihadist group.
But he apparently double-crossed his British handlers and returned to London with plans to launch an ‘insider attack’ in the capital.
The Mail on Sunday has been aware of the alleged plot for more than a year but agreed to previous requests from the security services not to publish the story for ‘national security’ reasons.
Parts of the plot were reported in a story in The Mail on Sunday last year, in which we revealed that the jihadist, who has a British passport, had plans to attack Central London and that David Cameron had been briefed about the details.
This newspaper is aware of the man’s identity and further details of the investigation but are not printing them for legal reasons.
A long undercover operation was run by MI5 to try to identify linked individuals who might be travelling back from Syria to launch similar attacks but this investigation has now concluded, meaning we can now report the fact that he was a potential ‘double agent’.
The revelations come as the terror threat in the UK continues to be ‘severe’ but as MI5 faces difficult questions about its tactic of recruiting agents who are known Islamic extremists.
Supporters of Mohammed Emwazi, the Islamic State executioner known as Jihadi John, have claimed that MI5 harassed him and similar allegations have been made by the family of Michael Adebolajo, one of the killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby.
The security services refuse to answer such questions because they stick by a strict policy to ‘neither confirm nor deny’ whether individuals have been approached or recruited – a policy they stick to even after suspects have been accused of serious crimes.
However, The Mail on Sunday can disclose that the man worked for MI5 for a period before he decided to travel abroad in 2012.
