Militants 鈥榩lanning mass attacks鈥

ISLAMIST militants in Syria are planning “mass casualty attacks” on Western targets, the head of British spy agency MI5 has warned, saying the deadly shooting in Paris was only a reminder of an ongoing threat.

Andrew Parker was referring to a group of fighters known as Khorasan, sources said, who have been targeted by US warplanes in northwest Syria.

He said intelligence agencies needed more powers, in particular to intercept communications, but added: “Although we and our partners try our utmost, we know that we cannot hope to stop everything.” Wednesday’s attack in Paris was a “terrible reminder of the intentions of those who wish us harm,” he said.
