I THINK IT'S STILL IN THE WORKS, AND WILL BE SLOPPY AND BLOODY...Hundreds of "dangerous Islamists radicals" are suspected to be based around Europe, counter-terrorism officials from Europe have said, amid warnings of a potential Al-Qaida attack on the continent.
"The number of dangerous Islamists [in Germany] lies at more than 100," Konrad Freiberg, chairman of Germany's main police union, told the Passauer Neue Presse newspaper on Tuesday, adding that about 40 had explosives training. "This is very dangerous for us."
... The head of the BKA Federal Crime Office, Joerg Ziercke, told Tagespiegel newspaper on September 5 that he put the number of militants living in Germany at 400, some of whom had battle experience from Afghanistan.
Police had seen an increase "in travel and attempted travel from members of violence-prone Islamist circles" since 2009 and Germany classified 131 people "as potential instigators" who could carry out attacks "of a considerable magnitude", he said.
... The U.S. State Department issued its warning on Sunday to American citizens to exercise caution while traveling in Europe, while Britain raised its terrorism threat level to "high" from "general" for its citizens traveling particularly in Germany and France. Sweden and Japan issued similar travel advisories on Monday.
... The Eiffel Tower and the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, as well as the Hotel Adlon and Central Station in Berlin topped the list of targets. An official told media that the British royal family has been placed under tight security, according to Fox News.
STAY TUNED...
