    Looks like the Brits are also concerned about Daesh getting off attacks in the UK. They do mention the rest of Europe seeing a rise in mass casualty attacks. So we now know they are in the UK and on to the Atlantic. They have a free shot in Africa to the Atlantic Coast. Then some say they are making inroads to the Caribbean. What say ye?



    Islamic State terrorists are planning mass casualty attacks in Britain the head of MI5 has warned. Andrew Parker, director general of the security agency, said threats from homegrown jihadis who want to fight for the militant movement showed no sign of abating.

    He also publicly admitted for the first time that MI5 had to carry out computer hacking attacks against terror networks to crack their communications. Delivering the Lord Mayor of London’s annual defence and security lecture, he said the current level of threat was the highest he had seen in a career spanning 32-years. In the past 12 months his agency has thwarted six terror plots in the UK and another seven abroad.

    Britons are being rapidly radicalised online and then encouraged to carry out low tech but deadly attacks. He said: “On top of that, in a range of attacks in Europe and elsewhere, this year we have seen greater ambition for mass casualty attacks.” .....snip~

    The Brits say their people are being rapidly radicalized online. Which we will have the same problem.
