The mutation of jihad
Photo by Wakil Kohsar/AFP We fear the wrong terror. This week marked the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings. But the spectacular terror of international jihad has significantly abated. In 2022, the UK downgraded its terrorism threat level from 'severe' to 'substantial', and MI5 director Ken McCallum observed in 2024 that terrorist threats had diminished during his time at the service. Attacks claimed by Islamic State group (IS) have fallen from almost 4,000 in 2018 to around 600 so far this year. And they are less likely to be of immediate concern to Western countries. Almost 90% of the group's violence now takes place in remote parts of Africa. A report published this week highlighted a newer danger: hostile governments are equipping themselves to execute professional attacks on British soil. The study by Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee, which Keir Starmer saw before publication, investigated Iran. It counted at least 15 attempted murders or abductions of British nationals or UK-based citizens since 2022, and designated the Iran one of the biggest threats to the UK, next to Russia and China. But it should not be news that the threat of state-sponsored, professional killings has been increasing in recent years should not be news. In 2024, MI5 admitted a 48 per cent rise in state-instigated assassination attempts on UK soil. But the only such incident to gain real cut-through was the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in 2018. Jihad is changing its face. In recent years, jihadist and Islamist groups that have embraced more pragmatic, local agendas have tended to flourish. Meanwhile, supporters of more extreme jihadist ideologies – groups like IS and al-Qaeda which once posed significant threats to the West – are foundering. In 2001, al-Qaeda executed the grandest and most famous assault the West had ever seen on its own land. The 2017 attacks on Westminster Bridge and London Bridge represented a transition to less complicated methods, such as stabbings and driving vans into crowds. IS was encouraging followers to use whatever equipment they can get their hands on. Now, commenters on GeoNews, the main al-Qaeda chat room, are wont to take a despairing tone; in late April this year, one commenter reflected 'Jihadism goes nowhere, it didn't achieve anything… it's like digging in water… The best that can happen is like [what happened in] Syria'. Since the December 2024 overthrow of the al-Assad government, Syria has been ruled by Ahmed al-Sharaa, better known by his military name Abu Mohammed al-Jolani. Al-Sharaa's regime has dismayed Islamist hardliners by distancing itself from typical jihadist and Islamist demands, such as rigorous application of Sharia law. Instead it has loudly touted its respect for religious minorities, with a programme more reminiscent of the Ottoman Empire's 'millet' ('personal law') decentralisations, which gave religious communities a degree of local autonomy. Al-Sharaa has even shaken the investment tin to the US and other Western powers. And, perhaps most controversially, his government is signalling openness to normalising ties with Israel, its arch-foe. Unburdened of US sanctions, Syria's economy is expected to begin the slow path to recovery. Al-Sharaa has generally prioritised winning international credibility as a competent and pragmatic leader over governing by strict Islamic principles. He has proposed plans to privatise state-controlled infrastructure and made overtures to foreign investors. Government officials have stated intentions to model Syria's future on service-based economies like Singapore. It is a surprising posture. Historian Djene Rhys Bajalan has coined the term 'Salafi Neoliberalism' to describe the strange new synthesis of 'malls and mosques'. Other media outlets have described it as 'Islamist technocracy', pointing to the equal centrality of technocratic institutions and conservative social mores. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe Before Syria, there was Afghanistan. Despite being spurned by the international community for its deeply regressive social policies, hardcore jihadists had condemned the Taliban's rule in Afghanistan after its 2021 takeover as too lax. IS's local wing and its affiliated media regularly scorn the Taliban, holding that the group has abandoned jihad, failed to implement Sharia and allied itself with enemy foreign powers. Accepting national borders and engaging in diplomacy is considered anathema to IS's vision of global jihad. Taken as evidence of ideological compromise was the Taliban's removal from Russia's list of terrorist organisations. And this week, on 9 July, Afghanistan posted an extraordinary tourism advert online, which opens with a shot of five turbaned men behind three kneeling hostages. The leader says 'we have one message for America', then pulls off the hood of the central hostage, revealing a beaming Westerner who shouts, 'Welcome to Afghanistan!' Of course, all sorts of propaganda will be used in service of attracting tourism; but this is nonetheless a sea change from the autarkic Taliban regime of the 1990s. Affiliates of al-Qaeda now appear poised to make a definitive break with the transnational jihadist model most infamously espoused by Islamic State (IS). Al-Qaeda affiliates in Yemen (AQAP) and Somalia (Al-Shabaab) have showed signs of being willing to collaborate with the Iran-backed Houthis, traditionally an ideological foe. In Yemen in April, a former al-Qaeda member rebranded innocuously as the Movement for Change and Liberation, a new, locally focused party. The affiliate in West Africa's Sahel region, JNIM, is perhaps the most likely to split from al-Qaeda's central structure next: media branding changes, such as the removal of JNIM's logo, suggest a split from the wider North African branch, AQIM. In February, one al-Qaeda supporter wondered in the GeoNews chatroom why 'JNIM want to separate from [al-Qaeda]?… It's sad'. JNIM's drift away from al-Qaeda may allow it to more openly collaborate with other non-jihadist militant groups such as Tuareg separatists. JNIM has also reportedly signalled willingness to combine forces with non-jihadist armed groups in the Sahel, such as the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), against common enemies in the region (predominantly the governments of Mali and Burkina Faso). Burkina Faso's military junta plainly considers the Taliban and JNIM entirely separate entities, meeting with the former in May while engaged in a bloody war with the latter. What is left of IS itself has blamed the West for the move away from jihadism and toward more palatable alternatives in order to undermine them and lure Muslims from the 'true' path. One high-profile IS supporter posted on Facebook, '[the US] gave Afghanistan to Taliban… and Syria to [al-Sharaa's] HTS which converted to secularism'. Devoted IS supporters see more pragmatic Islamist movements like HTS as enforcers of the West's war on terrorism who are beholden to Western interests, rather than being committed to applying Shariah by the letter. Al-Naba, IS's weekly newspaper, has recently struck a downbeat tone. An early July editorial worried about low morale and a wavering commitment to global jihad. Several other recent editorials have all but admitted that the group is on the backfoot, especially in its Middle Eastern heartlands, where its attacks have dropped significantly in recent years. Transnational jihadism – an ideology that has demonstrated remarkable tenacity throughout the first quarter of the 21st century – may be about to turn a corner. As US power retreats, those who might have been attracted to confronting American imperialism are concerned by other questions. International terrorist imperatives are being subordinated to domestic, material issues. At least for now, the success of the local appears to be global jihadism's loss.

He filled in for his sick colleague. When his van was checked by authorities he regretted it
He filled in for his sick colleague. When his van was checked by authorities he regretted it It was 'through no fault' of the warehouse worker that he accidentally committed a criminal offence, his solicitor said Total Asia Food Cardiff in Lyon Close, Grangetown, Cardiff (Image: Google ) A warehouse worker agreed to fill in for a sick colleague by taking over a delivery. After authorities stopped him mid-route he ended up with a criminal conviction. Mathew Jenkins, a 37-year-old employee of wholesaler Total Asia Food Cardiff, got behind the wheel of a van overloaded with food products on March 26 and fell foul of a routine check by officers from the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency). His solicitor Craig Bond said: "He had worked there for six months and he still does. He works in the warehouse but on this day the driver was ill. "He was asked if he would drive the vehicle from Cardiff to Swansea. The vehicle was already loaded when he got in. "It would appear there was a routine check from the DVSA, which had organised a series of checks for that day." Don't miss a court report by signing up to our crime newsletter here. David Haines-Burke, of the DVSA, told Merthyr Tydfil Magistrates' Court the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van was stopped at Miskin, Rhondda Cynon Taf, and found to be "laden" with food products. Article continues below The manufacturer's plate on the van showed its weight should not exceed 3,500kg but the DVSA officers recorded a weight of 4,600kg. Mr Haines-Burke said overloading can put "undue pressure" on tyres and reduce a vehicle's ability to stop. Jenkins, of Bluebell Drive in Llanrumney, Cardiff, and his employer Total Asia Food Cardiff both pleaded guilty to breaching road vehicles regulations. "He has no previous convictions," said Mr Bond. "He was very nervous about coming to court today. "To be fair his depot manager Mr Lee has attended court today – partly on behalf of the company but partly because he feels responsible for Mr Jenkins being here. "He asked Mr Jenkins to stand in as a delivery driver and through no fault of Mr Jenkins he has been involved in this offence." Mr Bond, who also represented the Grangetown-based company, went on: "This was a one-off incident. The food delivery company uses a forklift that weighs products that go into the back of the Sprinter van. "The forklift was broken on the day and unfortunately the system used was to estimate the amount of product by the human eye. Clearly that estimation was totally wrong and the company apologises." The solicitor said the forklift has been repaired and the company has brought in a policy that drivers must sign to confirm a vehicle is compliant whenever it is loaded. He assured the court the crime would not be repeated. Article continues below The court heard Jenkins earns £1,500 a month. Presiding Justice Jeffrey Edwards took this into account and handed him a £346 fine, £147 in prosecution costs, and a £138 victim services surcharge. The company was ordered to pay a £880 fine, £324 in prosecution costs, and a £352 victim services surcharge.

Ukraine suffers most civilian casualties in 3 years as Russia ramps up aerial attacks
Russia launched more aerial attacks on Ukraine in June than in any other month of the war so far, causing the highest number of civilians killed or wounded since the conflict broke out more than three years ago, according to a tally by the United Nations and independent researchers. The onslaught of armed drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles raining down on Ukrainian towns and cities has underscored Russia's determination to press on with its war against Ukraine despite President Donald Trump's efforts to halt the bloodshed. The Russian aerial attacks have been steadily increasing since July 2024, with the number of strikes exceeding 2,500 in each of the first six months of this year, according to the nonprofit Institute for the Study of War, which cited figures from Ukraine's defense ministry. The difference over the same period last year is stark. Between January and June, Russian drone and missile attacks numbered 23,245, a roughly 605 % increase compared to the same period last year when there were 3,300, according to the Washington-based institute. The expansion was driven by a massive increase in drone assaults, which jumped from 2,264 in the first half of 2024 to 22,495 in the first half of 2025, according to the tally. As a result of those aerial attacks, the toll of civilians killed and wounded increased to 6,719, up about 53% from the same period in 2024, according to U.N. monitors. The civilian toll included 1,091 deaths and 5,628 wounded. 'Civilians across Ukraine are facing levels of suffering we have not seen in over three years,' Danielle Bell, head of the U.N. Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, said in a statement. 'The surge in long-range missile and drone strikes across the country has brought even more death and destruction to civilians far away from the frontline.' June marked the highest monthly civilian casualty toll in three years, with 232 killed and 1,343 wounded, according to the United Nations. In the month of June, Russian forces fired 5,681 drones and missiles on Ukraine – the highest number since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. The aerial assault included 5,438 drones and 243 missiles, according to the Institute for the Study of War. Russia has kept up the tempo of drone and missile attacks in July, forcing Ukrainians in cities to seek shelter underground in subway stations. Smoke rose over Kyiv on Wednesday and Thursday night from Russian drone and missile strikes that ignited fires and destroyed apartment buildings, NBC News and The Associated Press reported from the capital. On Wednesday night, Russia fired more than 700 attack and decoy drones on Ukraine, along with missiles. On Thursday night, 397 Iranian-designed Shahed and decoy drones were launched against Kyiv and other regions, according to Ukrainian officials. With Russian troops unable to score a breakthrough on the ground despite a significant manpower advantage, Moscow has stepped up its missile and drone attacks on the country's cities to try to overwhelm air defenses, undermine the resolve of the government in Kyiv before any peace talks, and break the will of the wider population, current and former Western diplomats say. 'These attacks are on civilian targets, so it's an attempt to demoralize Ukrainians, to convince Ukrainians that they can't win,' said William Taylor, a former career U.S. diplomat who served in Kyiv. Christina Harward, a Russian analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, said previous attempts by Russia to damage morale have failed. The air attacks also indicated Russia's weapons production and stockpiles had increased, especially long-range drones, Harward said. 'Russia may also be trying to distract from the battlefield, where Russian gains on the front are still relatively slow and are coming at huge personnel costs,' she said. Before he took office in January, Trump had pledged to end the war in 'a day.' He initially suggested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his government were the main obstacle to bringing an end to the conflict, which began with Russia's invasion of the Crimean peninsula in 2014 and its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. But in recent days, Trump's tone has shifted, with the president expressing impatience and frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin for offering what he called 'meaningless' moves toward peace.
