IS commanders planned attacks in UK in past year, says report
Authorities in Britain believe there were four plots in 2016 aimed at inflicting mass casualties
Commanders from the Islamic State group have been communicating with individuals in a bid to stage terrorist attacks in Britain over the past year, UK investigators reported.
In the past 30 months, 11 IS plots on British soil were identified and disrupted, sources told the Guardian on Saturday.
Authorities in Britain believe there were four plots in 2016 aimed at inflicting mass casualties, all of which were reportedly shut down after arrests were made.
Some of the planned attacks were believed to have been inspired by propaganda put out by the Islamic State (IS) group online. But there have been plots with direct involvement from IS military planners in Syria, communicating with militants in the UK, investigators believe.

They were able to stop these attacks, British intel and others, I suppose.
