The persistent menace of Islamic State continues to loom large, with UK counter-terror units tirelessly working to thwart their schemes.

       Al-Qaeda, the notorious group from which ISIS emerged, is reportedly concocting plans for long-term assaults on European soil with one ISIS plot orchestrated by Iraqi extremists targeting the UK already foiled last year.

       Baghdad's top special forces commander has disclosed that his team had eliminated key ISIS leaders and uncovered links to a British ISIS faction. UK counter-terrorism officials requested redactions in our report due to ongoing investigations.

       General Abdul Wahab el-Saadi from Baghdad issued a stark caution: "We know ISIS has been talking to UK-based terrorists and we know what they are planning. It is a big attack."

       His esteemed elite forces, dubbed the Golden Division, unearthed harrowing plans for a major international conspiracy against Britain after neutralising jihadists in a remote lair. Yet, this might just be the beginning, as ISIS is believed to be relentlessly indoctrinating Brits and other Europeans to execute attacks, often via the internet, reports the Mirror.

       Furthermore, there's growing concern that terror networks are exploiting the European refugee crisis, potentially infiltrating operatives amidst the genuine refugees escaping conflict and turmoil in Asia and Africa.

       Regrettably, as recent events have shown, this threat is also being exploited by far-right groups aiming to unjustly cast doubt on those genuinely seeking refuge in Europe.
