A New 9/11 is Coming Any Day From the Hundreds of Al-Qaida Sleeper Agents in the UK, Says Ex-MI6 Spy

A former MI6 spy has claimed a new 9/11 or 7/7 attack could come at any time due to the presence of hundreds of potential Al-Qaida sleeper agents living in the UK. The Sun has more.

Aimen Dean spent eight years in the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) – forming close bonds with Al-Qaeda operatives and gaining exclusive insight into their insidious minds.

His risky work for MI5 and MI6 helped foil a number of attempted terror attacks, including a plot to bomb the New York Subway.

Despite the SIS’s valiant work, Dean told the Sun there are “hundreds” of enemy agents waiting in the shadows – ready to unleash carnage in the UK.

As a former Al-Qaeda member himself, and armed with a deep knowledge of the Quran, few understand the terror group’s inner workings as well as Dean.

It’s this intimate understanding that saw the dad-of-one thrust into numerous close-call situations as a spy.

Living with terrorist agents in London, he became a “kind of spiritual coach” to them – gaining him unique access into the group’s terrifying sphere of influence.

“It’s a bit brutal,” he recalled as he spoke to the Sun about the men who disclosed their deepest, darkest secrets to him.

During this time, he also discovered Iran‘s authority was gaining worrying momentum domestically – and warned the country’s threat needed to be “countered” to protect British nationals.

Dean explained Al-Qaeda was “hosted” by Iran for 25 years, which opened the floodgates for sleeper cells to carry out deadly rampages against Brits.

Some of the attacks that killed British nationals in Saudi Arabia, for example, were orders that came from inside Iran, he said.

He added: “Unfortunately, I would love to tell you the world is an amazing place, but it’s not.

“The problem is the new world order is now the new world nightmare.

“We have rogue nations such as Iran aspiring to become nuclear powers.

“And a threat like Iran needs to be countered because of the fact that they are a nation that has sponsored terrorism.”

He’s described Europe’s Russian angst misplaced and has called on the UK to channel its energy into stemming the spread of Islamic fundamentalism.

According to Dean, “it’s not about if another 9/11 or 7/7 attack will happen; it’s about when”.

He said: “The biggest threat to the UK and Europe right now isn’t Russia but the spread of Iranian influence.

“We’re going to see many more lone-wolves acting for the regime. When it comes to sleeper agents in the UK, it’s impossible to tell how many there are but there are hundreds.

“Islamic fundamentalism is much more sinister as it undermines from within. It pushes people to distrust institutions and in some ways is much more dangerous than violent extremism.

“The violence is just the tip of the iceberg.”
