Britain's most senior counter-terrorism police officer warned on Monday of the risk of further "spectacular" attacks by the "Islamic State" (ISIS) terrorist group as it trains its sights on "Western lifestyle" targets, AFP reports.
London Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said British police had carried out a record number of counter-terrorism arrests last year. But he warned that the Islamist group had broadened its focus from military and police targets, noting the Paris attacks last year when gunmen attacked bars, a concert hall and a stadium, killing 130 people.
