[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.”

Hey, America left Europe for dead during both the wars. We only helped when we were forced to be involved.
Have you ever heard of the Marshall Plan?? "The Marshall Plan was an American initiative to aid Western Europe, in which the United States gave $13 billion (approximately $130 billion in current value as of August 2015) in economic support to help rebuild Western European economies after the end of World War II. The plan was in operation for four years beginning in April 1947. The goals of the United States were to rebuild war-devastated regions, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, make Europe prosperous again, and prevent the spread of communism. The Marshall Plan required a lessening of interstate barriers, a dropping of many petty regulations constraining business, and encouraged an increase in productivity, labour union membership, as well as the adoption of modern business. Some 18 European countries received plan benefits. Ireland received $146.2 million USD through the Marshall Plan. The UK received $385 million USD. The Marshall Plan amounted to 1/6 of the American food supply, and provided 35 trillion calories worth of food to countries in need of aid."
Thats not even everything, i can go on and on. But the eastern bloc countries like Poland for example, couldnt get relief from the Marshall plan because they were under Soviet Union control and they disallowed their eastern bloc countries to get any part of the Marshall Plan, so there was nothing for America to do for them.

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.
say that to paris
