‎ISIS prepares to hit UK, official says

Fresh intelligence reports obtained by European security agencies reveal that ISIS is aiming to attack the UK in a follow-up to Paris style attacks which witnessed the killing of scores of concert watchers.
The intelligence report suggests that British ISIS fighters have been tasked by senior ISIS operatives in the so-called caliphate to return home and carry out an attack.

It’s not clear how imminent the threat is nor the specific location. However, the official said the concerns have been compounded by the vote in the House of Commons on Wednesday to authorize British airstrikes against ISIS in Syria.
It could be recalled that, Aine Lesley Davis, a British ISIS operative, was arrested in Istanbul the same day as the Paris attacks as he planned to travel to Europe to deliver orders on planned terror attacks.
