SNIPPET: “A Europe-wide terrorism alert has led to warnings from Britain, the US and Japan about travel across the continent amid fears of gun attacks on tourist sites and transport hubs.
It is understood the alert was sparked after an informant, Ahmad Sidiqi told US interrogators of the alleged plot.”
SNIPPET: “Sidiqi said he had met Ilyas Kashmiri, a one-eyed commander linked with one of the men allegedly behind the attacks on Mumbai, India in 2008 that left 174 people dead.
During the camp fire chat in Pakistan, Kashmiri told Sidiqi that he had already sent teams to Britain and Germany to launch Mumbai-style attacks, the Daily Telegraph has learned.
Osama bin Laden is said to have given a general blessing to such attacks which would involve gunmen killing innocent civilians in crowded areas at random although there is nothing to connect him operationally to the plot. Security sources on both sides of the Atlantic say no targets or timings were discussed.”
