Terrorists plotting AT LEAST four attacks on Britain’s shopping centres and stadiums

Britain’s security services are probing at least four plots to commit terrorist atrocities, it has emerged.

Extremists are believed to be at the ­“planning” stages with shopping centres and stadiums at particular risk.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe warned an attack similar those recently seen in France and Germany was “highly likely”.

And he accepted the public were increasingly worried they could be next.

Sir Bernard, Britain’s top police officer, said: “I feel and understand that fear, and as the police officer in charge of preventing such at attack, know that you want me to reassure you.

“I am afraid I cannot do that entirely. Our threat level has been at ‘severe’ for two years – it remains there.

“It means an attack is highly likely – you could say it is a case of when, not if.”

However, Sir Bernard said the relationship between police, MI5 and MI6 was a “world beater” and gave us an intelligence advantage.

Gun control laws also made it more difficult for extremists, he added.
