A top security source said the message was stark.

He told The Mirror: "Al Qaeda are determined to carry out an attack in the UK. They want mass casualties, iconic targets and mass media coverage where the television cameras are present."

He added: "Sports stadiums and shopping centres are most at risk where large numbers of people are congregated in one place, especially over the festive season."

• I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND OF THIS - OR LAST WEEKS LEAK ABOUT SIMILAR PLANS AL QAEDA HAS FOR LA AND CHICAGO.

• I DON'T THINK THEY'RE LEAKING EVERYTHING TO US.

• I THINK THEY THINK IT'S GONNA BE HUGE.

• I THINK MUSHARRAF IS BRACING HIMSELF.

• I THINK HE THINKS IT WILL HAPPEN BEFORE HE HAS TO LIFT THE STATE OF EMERGENCY.

• SOME TIME BETWEEN THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS.
