"They use new technology and ideologies"/ MI5 analyzes the behavior of

Within Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, MI5, a group of experts, including psychologists, criminologists and anthropologists, are making a deep effort to analyze the mindset and behavior of modern terrorists, in order to prevent future attacks.

The team is part of a unit called the Behavioural Science Unit, a behavioral science unit focused on understanding the motivations of extremists. They research extremist content online, read and listen to what they see and use it to predict who might be planning a violent act.

While once most attacks were planned by traditional groups, today extremists thrive online, often acting as lone individuals.

A portion of the cases also include young people under the age of 17, arrested for terrorism-related matters, which has reached historic levels.

According to the analysis, today's terrorists often have "mixed" or unstable ideologies and often use the internet as a primary tool of influence.

Technology, including artificial intelligence and content editors, helps create compelling materials that appeal to young people./ CNA
