Iraq inquiry: Ex-MI5 boss says war raised terror threat

The invasion of Iraq "substantially" increased the terrorist threat to the UK, the former head of MI5 has said.
Giving evidence to the Iraq inquiry, Baroness Manningham-Buller said the war "radicalised a whole generation of young people", including UK citizens.
As a result, she said, she was not surprised that UK nationals were involved in the 7/7 bombings in London.
She also said she believed intelligence on Iraq's threat was not "substantial enough" to justify the war.
