UK’s police announced on Monday that the ISIL terrorists are planning to carry out “enormous and spectacular” attacks against Britain and the Western lifestyle in general.
London Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley emphasized that the threat from the terrorist group which has taken over large parts of Syria and Iraq was evolving.
Rowley, who is Britain’s most senior anti-terrorism officer, added that the ISIL is keen to repeat elsewhere incidents such as last year’s Paris shootings and suicide attacks that killed 130 people.
“What we are now seeing in recent months … is the broadening of that threat, more plans to attack Western lifestyle … going from that narrow focus on police and military and symbols of the state to something much broader,” Reuters has quoted Rowley as telling the reporters.
