Terror attack foiled in London?
From Sky News (via Sister Toldjah), a disturbing report of a plot to commit a terrorist attack similar to that in Mumbai that may or may not have been thwarted (and notice how they'd rather use "militant" than "terrorist" as description):
Sky's foreign affairs editor Tim Marshall said militants based in Pakistan were planning simultaneous strikes on London and major cities in France and Germany.If they are, they could be hiding out in one of the Muslim enclaves that are already dominant in some of Europe's major cities. And that's why, if they don't want a major terrorist attack taking place, they're going to have to raid those enclaves. And they're going to have to call in the army if needed too.
He said the plan was in the advanced but not imminent stage and the plotters had been tracked by spy agencies "for some time".
Intelligence sources told Sky the planned attacks would have been similar to the commando-style raids carried out in Mumbai.
Then, Pakistan-based Islamist group Lashkar e Taiba killed 166 people in a series of gun and grenade attacks in the Indian city.
Marshall said the European plot had been "severely disrupted" following intelligence sharing between Britain, France, Germany and the US.
It is not known whether the attackers are already in Europe.
