ISIS terrorists are likely to target British shops this Christmas, says an expert
A terror expert has warned the festive period makes the iconic landmarks in the UK a "soft target", with tourists, shoppers and revellers a likely target.

MI5 has warned Britain is facing the highest threat of a terror attack than it has ever experienced, with seven terror attacks foiled in Britain in the last six months alone and nine dsisrupted overseas in this year alone.

Britain is now on red alert following the Paris terror attacks which have so far claimed the lives of 129 people.

Will Geddes, head of global security firm International Corporate Protection, believes extremists will be planning for a lone wolf to carry out attacks on the streets of London similar to the atrocity at the Tunisian holiday resort of Sousse.

Mr Geddes said: "None of us are safe anywhere unless you are on a remote island.

"For groups like ISIS they want a maximum media impact with any horrific attack that has people begging to return to their home nations.

"But those resorts are emptying out. It won't have the gravitas on an empty resort.

"We may or may not see those threats moving more inland to major cities as one would expect from any terrorist group.

"These risks may be moving more into central locations."

Security sources have revealed terror police are monitoring more than 3,000 Islamist extremists in Britain.

Mr Geddes believes a successful attack on a city such as London, Birmingham or Manchester, would be seen as a major propaganda coup for ISIS.

And busy landmarks such as outside Buckingham Palace or the shopping district at Oxford Street could be likely targets.

Mr Geddes told the Daily Star: "Lone wolf attacks are much more harder to detect.

"When you look at a terrorist group you ask 'what is their key objective?'. In ISIS it will be to cause human death or casualty.

"They are very media savvy and will look for optimum carnage that will be relayed around the world.

"If around London there is going to be more publicity in Parliament Square than the backstreets of Wandsworth.

"Terrorists, as do criminals, look for the softest targets."

The new threat shifts the focus away from Brits abroad.

British and western tourists were under an extreme threat of attack at holiday resorts across the Spanish coast and north Africa during the popular summer holiday season.

In June, 30 Brits were killed by lone gunman Seifeddine Rezgui as they sunbathed in Sousse.

The ISIS-inspired killer casually sailed to a seaside hotel and opened fire with his Kalashnikov rifle.

The attack sent shockwaves around the world.

Just days later Brit holidaymakers were warned ISIS were targeting popular resorts across the Spanish coast.

The once sun-soaked beaches are emptying as the winter months draw near and terrorists could be setting their sights on causing carnage in cities.

However, Calum Jeffray, a national security expert with the Royal United Services Institute, believes the threat abroad continues with lone wolf operations the most likely.

He said: "The terror threat is not necessarily any worse than it has been over the past few months.

"British holidaymakers are not specifically targeted by ISIS as extremists are more focused on political objectives in Iraq and Syria.

"The attacks we have seen are lone wolf which are much more difficult for authorities to identify and counter."

Wow, CAPITALS in the headlines, must be true.

[rickschoppers]

Must be KW since the headline was cut and pasted from the express.co.uk, one of the UK's finest rags.

Absolutely dreadful report and somewhat symptomatic of the sad decline in the newspaper industry. Online editions are fast becoming mere blogs with piss poor editing standards.

I suspect Will Geddes of ICP was originally a squaddie in the Paras before he started his bouncer protection company. Poor chap's evident flair for spouting dreary banalities as if they were the greatest profundities rather marks him out as yet another soldier of fortune merchant cobbling together a team of old mates, a few ex-coppers and assorted clapped out retired civil servants with a website. Just been perusing some of his entries in linked publicity sites and learned that as a public speaker he seeks between £4,000 and £7,000 for engagements and regularly advises media outlets on security matters.

His advice on how to spot a suicide bomber: " Does he seem furtive, is he checking out where the exits are, is he sweating - check his hands". And how to remain inconspicuous while waiting in an immigration queue: " Don't use your mobile or take pictures and don't use your laptop - they might think you are gathering information as the advance guy for a terrorist attack ".

Absolute hoot, really, and quite indicative of the gullibility of media folk that they should wish to use such dross as a rent-a-gob chappie.

He is the sole director of his company which turns over £400,000 a year. Obviously a top drawer outfit and a rival to Control Risks, not.

This same rag is also claiming that Putin is sending 150,000 troops into Syria.

It's an easy article to write that will catch the eye and can't be 'disproven' as such.

Money for nothing.

Nothing sells quite like fear and people are in the market for that right now.

Must be a seasonal thing.
