Europol has warned that ISIS is setting up terrorist training camps across the Europe and planning more strikes. Alongside its bases in Syria, ISIS has “smaller scale training camps in the EU and Balkan countries”. The terror group release a new video on Sunday which featured many of the Paris attackers training before the atrocity and indicated the UK would be the next target because of its decison to join airstrikes in Syria. The assessment suggested 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 warned that the UK would be its next target following its government’s decision to join airstrikes in Syria. In an interview with Sky News, David Cameron said he was not aware of any specific intelligence suggesting there were plans for large-scale terror strikes against Britain.
