The secret services confirm: Rome among the objectives of ISIS

According to the National Security Agency (NSA), the episodes in France are only the beginning of a series of terrorist acts studied by the Islamic State in Europe. Just a few months ago, analyzing the wiretapping between ISIS leaders, the NSA became aware of a large-scale terrorist plan.

Europe - according to the interceptions - will be hit by an unprecedented wave of terror and French events are just the beginning.

The analyzes of the American secret services are reported today by the German newspaper BILD am SONNTAG.

There is no specific information regarding the plans of the Islamic State, but in recorded conversations Rome is also mentioned.

A few weeks ago Andrew Parker, director of MI5, the British intelligence agency, said that Al-Qaeda is planning attacks against Western countries. According to British intelligence, terrorists are preparing attacks against transport infrastructures and landmarks.

A terrorist attack in the UK - according to MI5 - is highly probable. The British jihadists who left the country to fight in Syria would be more than 600. At least twenty terrorist plans, linked directly or indirectly to ISIS, have been foiled since October of 2013 by MI5.

The analysis of the English secret services is the same as in the other Western countries: the terrorists "will try to be spectacular in their atrocities".

Over the past two months, MI5 has foiled three attacks in the UK.
