Major Terrorist Threat "Thwarted"

BREAKING

Over the last several days the government has reported that there has been a "credible" threat of terrorism across Europe and possibly the United States.  Drone attacks intensified in Pakistan and security increased throughout Western Europe.

New intelligence now suggests that this threat has at the very least been "intercepted" and at most has been "foiled."  According to the Hindustan Times, the "Mumbai-style" attack has been completely thwarted.  "Mumbai-style" refers to ten coordinated terrorist attacks that killed over one hundred Indians in 2008.

However, questions still abound.  It is not known where the terrorists are; some in intelligence fear that they are already in Europe.

Drone Attacks Helped Disrupt the Attack

Tim Marshall, the editor of Sky News's foreign affairs, stated "I am led to believe a number of these attacks were designed against the leadership of this particular plot, which had an Al Qaeda and possibly some sort of Taliban connection projecting into Europe."

Speaking about the evacuation of the Eiffel Tower, Marshall added that "It doesn't necessarily mean it was a target, but it shows how nervous the French are."

According to Sky News, the attacks were aimed at at least Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.
