[h=1]Islamic State planning mass attack on Britain, warns head of MI5 - Telegraph[/h]
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.
Mr Parker said four fifths of the 4,000-strong agency’s resources were directed at stopping terrorist attacks, with an increasing proportion of them linked to Syria and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).
He said: “More than 750 extremists from this country have travelled to Syria, and the growth in the threat shows no sign of abating.
“We are seeing plots against the UK directed by terrorists in Syria; enabled through contacts with terrorists in Syria; and inspired online by Isil’s sophisticated exploitation of technology.”

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.” While the rise of Isil had dominated the headlines in the past 12 months, he said there was still a threat from al-Qaeda terrorists who are also planning massive attacks in the UK. He said: “All of this means that the threat we are facing today is on a scale and at a tempo that I have not seen before in my career.”

“It may not yet have reached the high water mark, and despite the successes we have had, we can never be confident of stopping everything. The death of 31 British nationals in the Sousse attacks in June was an appalling reminder of the threat.
” The scale of the threat meant MI5 had to update its “toolbox” of methods to fight terrorists, including using computer attacks. He said: “This includes the ability to conduct operations online and to mount IT attacks (known as equipment interference), under a warrant authorised by the Home Secretary, against terrorist networks, so that we can access their communications.
” Defending the agency’s ability to access communications data, he said: “We use these tools within a framework of strict safeguards and rigorous oversight, but without them we would not be able to keep the country safe. “As I have said before, we do not, and could not, go browsing at will through the lives of innocent people.”

ISIS has been planning an attack against America for months too. For the most part they are just blowing hot air out of their assholes. They may have some operatives within both the US and Europe, but there is so much surveillance going on in the world right now, it's quite hard to hide from being detected.

Hey, America left Europe for dead during both the wars. We only helped when we were forced to be involved.

In both World Wars, America sought to be neutral, even though we were allied with many of the European powers. The only reason we join World War II was because of bombing of Pearl Harbor. As for World War I, I believe it had something to do with Lusitania being destroyed by Germany. If not for those events, America would've let the Central/Axis powers take over Eurasia.
