Original: Soldier linked to Patriotic Alternative jailed for terror offences as MI5 chief warns of far-right threat
A British soldier with links to the far-right group Patriotic Alternative has been jailed for terror offences. The sentencing came as the head of MI5 warned about the growing threat from far-right extremism in the UK. The case highlights concern within security services about extremist ideology penetrating the armed forces, and officials continue to stress that right-wing terrorism now sits alongside Islamist extremism among the most serious domestic threats.
Why now: The combination of a soldier's terrorist conviction and a senior MI5 warning has focused fresh attention on the far-right threat in Britain.
