Claims Islamic State prepared for 'lone wolf' attacks in UK

World War II victory commemorations involving the royal family are said to be among the potential targets.

BRITISH JIHADI FIGHTERS trained in Syria are ready to carry out “lone wolf” attacks in the UK, it was claimed today.

Sky News reports that Islamic State bombers have identified this weekend’s World War II victory commemorations in London involving the royal family among its potential targets.

Using fake online profiles, an undercover reporter with the British news outlet is said to have learned that the Islamic State (IS) already has a number of trained bombers living in the UK.

The reporter was sent terror guidebooks, including advice on making weapons, by British couple Junaid Hussain and Sally Jones, now senior IS recruiters based in Syria.

The strategy is believed to be part of a new IS policy that encourages British and European jihadis to carry out attacks at home instead of travelling to Iraq or Syria.

A Sky reporter also travelled to Turkey to meet a man who claimed to oversee the training of foreign jihadis for missions outside IS territory.

Over the weekend, the Mail on Sunday reported that authorities had undertaken an emergency review of security for the London victory ceremonies after learning of a potential risk to the lives of several royal family members.

Police response

In a statement earlier today, Scottish police said they are working with their counterparts in London to assess the threat posed by this latest report of potential terrorist activity.

The Metropolitan police’s specialist operations unit said it remains “alert to terrorist threats that may manifest here or where individuals overseas may seek to direct or inspire others to commit attacks in and against the UK”.

“The UK threat level from international terrorism remains severe,” it said.

    Well, did anyone believe it was not going to happen?
    It’s a sad day when you visit a city centre or shopping centre with your family and you are checking for the nearest emergency exits and escape routes.
    Something has to be done to contain this downward spiral.

    Actually I believe it hasn’t happened up to now is that the British intelligence is pretty good at dealing with terrorism on its soil. 7/7 taught them lessons they learned well. There has always been potiential for more attacks on British soil . I think the IRA probably were good training for the British security forces .

    Also, a member of your own family is much more likely to kill you than a terrorist, statistically speaking. So keep your eyes on them too.

    As a matter of fact, yes I do Carmel. Consider it as preparing for an unlikely event, so that I can live to tell the tale, unlike those that just stare at their life flashing before their eyes because they are frozen with fear.

    As per the breakfast, I’m lucky if I have one of those every 3 months so hopefully I’m good in that department.

    We have to call out religious nonsense whenever we see it. Stop giving religionous barbarism a pass in our discourse. People on the Karen Buckely article are saying “Hope he burns in hell. God bless the family” and other such nonsense and get thumbs up. We can’t allow it when we enjoy it and then say Muslims are looneys for believing infidels will go to hell. There is no God and there is no hell, and everyone needs to learn to stop believing in things that have no evidence at all. Not just when we don’t like it.

    Isis religious beliefs are down right abused to say the least yes. But to say their is no God is wrong because you simply can’t disprove it, as I’ve said before God doesn’t have to be this cartoon type guy dressed in white with a long beard holding a big cane watching over us all the time. He doesn’t have to come in the from of a human, water, air or acting like that. People interpret God Wrong these days and get the Wong image. But to me personally he is a higher intelligence than be represented in any form and is responsible for building the framework of the universe as we know it.

    The British used to have slaves and treat black people second class. They also has Irish slaves too. Look, terrorism is terrorism and the wests involvement today in counter terrorism is different than what it used to be and the wests behaviour is not squeaky clean but their involvement in the ME whilst it’s always been seen as for self gain is to get rid of terrorism and keep it from spreading over here. West could sit back and do nothing and people would hate us, but when we get involved they still hate us you can’t win. However doing nothing would see the spread of it coming to the west so it’s important to get involved.

    Actually Supernova, the British did all of those things and worse. Together with Portugal, the two countries accounted for about 70% of all Africans transported to the Americas. Britain was the most dominant between 1640 and 1807 and it is estimated that Britain transported 3.1 million Africans (of whom 2.7 million arrived) to the British colonies in the Caribbean, North and South America and to other countries. For beheadings familiarise yourself with the history of the Tower of London for starters.

You don’t spend hundreds of years interfering in other countries without suffering some sort of backlash at some point. No the civilians don’t deserve to be targeted, but neither do the people in the countries you invade either. We now have a particularly heinous type of enemy whom we can attribute its creation to a response to to foreign interference.

    I’m more concerned at the fact that there appears to be a link between ISIS and the increase in aggressive seagull behavior in Dublin, and fear they may have been recruited and radicalised by ISIS!

    I guess when you colonise the world through the gun and then involve yourself in foreign wars you’ve got to expect that not everyone will be happy about it. the war in Iraq for example was I believe cos of oil etc. how come they don’t involve themselves in the war in the western Sahara, my guess is cos there’s nothing in it for them.

    Who is they specifically?

    The US and UK in particular are involved in humanitarian and peace keeping efforts around the world. You just don’t hear about them in the media because good news doesn’t sell and there are way too many operations of that nature going on.

    The US military practically ended the famine and war in Somalia. After they pulled out it was left to the UN to do the diplomatic spring cleaning which they screwed up big time.

    Just like you never hear a positive story about the time a firearm has saved an innocent persons life in the US, you’ll only ever hear about the time someone shoots up a school or protest.

    It doesn’t mean it never happens.

    Ok Stephen, how meny times have Isis or al qaeda attacked Iceland or the Dominican republic, zero if I’m correct, why do you think that is? Maybe cos they don’t go sticking their big oar in everyone’s business. to say they do humanitarian work doesn’t excuse the years of slavery and exploitation that England, France, Spain etc have inflicted on the world. the UK and USA sell military weapons to all these people no questions asked, and if they throw them a few crumbs like tents or dig a few wells it’s only to ease their conscious and make it appear like they give a crap.

    Arab countries invaded other countries down through the years. There has always been land grabs and resource grabs throught hustory. There is constant tribal war in Arfica. Russia annexed numerous countries into the Soviet Union. Saying that certain countries invented invasions or wars is really nonsense.

    I’m not getting many green thumbs on these type of articles and frankly my ego is pist. Perhaps a change of tact is in order.
    So here goes:

    All muslims are potential terrorists. We should never let them in. Multiculturalism is a liberal fantasy cooked up so that liberals can eat a more diverse range of cuisine in their neighborhoods. Foreigners are not humans, they breed like rabbits and they are going to take over the world, our world. Whose gonna look out for whitey? Racism against white people is the only form of racism and when someone uses the word racist they are being racist against whites. I’m scarred all that a load of mussies are gonna blow up my neighbourhood. Can we not just shoot anyone whose not like us and let god sort them out?

    Right, well, I’m going to Red Thumb you again and it’s not because of your post.
    It’s because you did not have the moral fortitude to stick to your (pun intended) guns.
    And, if your post was an above average attempt at sarcasm then the red thumb still stands…….because we all know that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit…..

    Btw, I am smiling as I type this…. ;))

    i have an idea for dealing with isis, isil IS or whatever politicians and the media is calling them this week. perhaps the US, UK arabia, israel etc. could atop arming funding and training these nutjobs. right now the threat of terrorism is being used as a justification for invading countries and destabilising regions. it is simultaneously is been used to take away public liberties and silence people at home. problem reaction solution.
    are there religious nutjobs? there surely is. however these morans are being armed to create a manufactured terror threat.

    I saw a brutal Islamic State execution online last night.They put 4 of their victims in a metal cage similar to the cage where they burned the Jordanian pilot alive.Anyway they lowered the cage into a swimming pool and had the cage fitted with underwater cameras so you could see the poor men gasping,struggling and dying.This crowd is evil and sick beyond belief
