warned the UK of a "Doomsday
attack" that will eclipse the brutal
Paris killings and turn "children's
hair white". Despite the numerous
warnings by Isis (Daesh) that they are planning to attack the UK, most
recently in a gruesome beheading
video believed to have starred
British extremist Siddhartha Dhar,
this is the "most menacing yet"
according to experts. The new threat was made in its
latest edition of the extremists,
Arabic language newspaper, al-
Naba (the News) and comes as
the group published a new execution video on the internet on 30 January which featured threats
to attack Western nations,
particularly Spain. The IS
extremists want Spain to "pay
dearly" for having crushed Muslim
rule in Andalusia which lasted from 711 to 1492. Viking Ocean

Mohammed Emwazi, dubbed
"Jihadi John", who was killed by a
US reaper drone strike, warned
that the UK will receive the "lion's
share" of punishment dished out by the terrorists. The new
warnings have sparked frenzied
searches by MI5 for terrorist cells
hiding in the UK. The new attack on Britain will be
so severe, IS claims, "that it will
turn children's hair to white" said
the Sunday Times. The warning is said to refer to a verse in the
Koran telling of the horrors
expected on Judgement Day. According to UK security forces
around 50 "high-risk" fighters are said to be under close surveillance
by MI5 with phone taps and travel
restrictions after returning from
fighting in Syria. In total, an
estimated 450 British Muslims who
travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight with jihadists have returned home. In a video released last week nine
of the Paris attackers, including
ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud,
threatened Great Britain. Abaaoud,
28, is believed to have travelled to
London ahead of the Paris attacks after UK landmarks were found on
his phone. In the video Abaaoud says: "By
Allah, we will come to you. Rather,
we are already in your lands. We
will slaughter you inside your
homes." Which could be construed
as an existing cell conducting operations inside the UK. Last week Shiraz Maher, of the
International Centre for the Study
of Radicalisation at King's College
London, wrote in the New Statesman magazine: "This is not the first time that Isis has
appeared to threaten Britain, but it
is the most pointed and menacing
warning yet." The Metropolitan Police reacted to
the possibility of an imminent terror
threat to the nation's capital by
saying: "We want the public to be
alert, not alarmed. The current
threat level across the UK from international terrorism remains at
severe, meaning an attack is
highly likely. "UK police and security and
intelligence services are working
tirelessly to confront this terrorist
