'Mumbai-Style' terror attack on UK

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/sep/29/terror-attack-plot-europe-foiled

A US, UK, French, and German intelligence operation intercepted attack plots by Pakistani based terrorist group.

Plans for Mumbai-style attacks are of great concern to British security. Through the cooperation of US, UK, France, and German intelligence agencies, attack plots on Britain, France, and Germany were interrupted. The United States has been coordinating drone raids along the Afghanistan border to target Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas. The raids utilize remotely controlled Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which are equipped with intelligence gathering and defense equipment. The use of drone raids to effectively gather intelligence on terrorist groups and attacks was evident in the interception of plans for Mumbai-style attacks on Britain. As an effective means of gathering information and intercepting terrorist plots, the drone raids are expected to increase along the Afghanistan border with Pakistan.
