	MI5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MI5 was quickly successful in identifying this group, and Kell took the intelligent decision not to arrest them but to keep them under surreptitious observation until the outbreak of war.
		MI5 also managed to acquire responsibility for security operations not only in Great Britain but throughout the British Empire, and with the decline in the Empire the Security Officers based in the British High Commissions returned to London and joined the Service, which gave it a significant role in Ireland.
		MI5 now has a role similar to that of the United States' FBI, if not as extensive, which includes crime-prevention activities as well as political surveillance and counter-espionage.

		When you think of government intelligence agencies such as MI5, the most common image to pop into your head will most likely be of James Bond embarking on another globetrotting mission on behalf of Her Majesty's Secret Service, but sadly this image is not strictly true.
		In reality, MI5, or the Security Service, is a vital part of the UK's national and international intelligence gathering network, and although much of their work shares the same level of secrecy as MI6, MI5 has more in common with national and international police forces than a secret crime-fighting agency.
		Over the last few years, MI5 has striven to remove some of the layers of secrecy, beginning with the publication of a booklet in 1993 that, for the first time, included a postal address for public correspondence.

		It was also testament to how much MI5 has changed in the years since Stella Rimington took over in 1992 that anything at all should be known about the early love life of one of the most important figures in the British security establishment.
		Since then, MI5 has edged nervously towards the light and it was the appointment of Ms Rimington ten years ago that marked the most dramatic change.
		She was the first head of MI5 whose identity was publicly announced and with that disclosure came other changes: the service was to become more open to public scrutiny and more accountable to parliament.

		Despite police objections and fear that MI5 was not an appropriate organisation to be involved in these matters, Parliament supported the widening of their role.
		The telephone hotline number for MI5 was given on the front page of The Times of March 11, 1998, in article which says the number is intended for "terrorists, spies and serious criminals" and not "ordinary members of the public".

	MI5 judged bomber 'no threat'
		However, MI5 officers subsequently decided that because Khan was only “indirectly linked” to one of the bomb suspects he was not considered a risk.
		There was initial concern that he might have been the “mastermind” behind the attacks and that he had met the four bombers and helped them choose their targets.
		MI5 will use its increased funding to open eight regional offices this year, including one in the northwest that will cover Leeds and Dewsbury, where three of the bombers lived.

	MI5
		Turning his attention to MI5 activity in Scotland, O'Hara focuses on three key points; the 1984 allegations of links between the Scottish National Liberation Army and the Irish National Liberation Army; the bizarre circumstances surrounding the death of Willie MacRae in April 1985, and the activities and arrest of Andrew McIntosh in 1993.
		O'Hara's indictment against MI5 for waging a campaign against Red Action rests heavily on the case of the London IRA bombings in January and February 1993, and the subsequent arrest and conviction of two Englishmen, Patrick Hayes and Jan Taylor, in March of that year.
		Furthermore, "the last thing MI5 wants is a 'peaceful settlement' for that would be an erosion of their capacity for autonomous action and the untrammelled exercise of power" (p.51-2), not to mention the fact that by their own estimation some 44 per cent of MI5 resources are allocated to Irish and other domestic counter terrorism.

		Britain's MI5 knew that the two Britons who carried out a suicide bombing in Israel last week had links to Islamic extremists, but they decided the pair were not potential terrorists, officers of the security service say.
		In an MI5 investigation of Islamic terrorism, Asif Mohammed Hanif and Omar Khan Sharif were identified as part of the hardline al-Muhajiroun movement, but were not put under constant surveillance because they were thought to be on the group's fringes, the officers said.
		MI5 had also known that Sharif was connected to a mosque where a radical cleric, Abu Hamza, preached until recently.
