Europol has warned that ISIS is setting up terrorist training camps across the Europe and planning more attacks . The report was published as the European Counter Terrorism Centre was launched. Alongside its bases in Syria , ISIS has “ smaller scale training camps in the EU and Balkan countries ” . The assessment is that the group has developed a specialist “ external actions command ” to plot and conduct attacks . Europol has also warned that ISIS may be looking to recruit refugees who have fled to Europe , training them to launch attacks in the countries that have taken them in . Europol ’s warning comes after ISIS released a new propaganda video on 24 January in which it claimed that the UK would be its next target following its government ’s decision to join airstrikes in Syria . Europol has not disclosed where the camps are being set up and the British police have reportedly said that they are not aware of any ISIS camps in the UK .
