ISIS Terror Plot Planning to Target England Fans at Euro 2016 Discovered by French Police

​Plans behind a heinous terror attack targeting England supporters at this summer's Euro 2016 have been discovered by French Police on suspected Paris bomb attack mastermind Salah Abdeslam's laptop.

The radical group had planned to use suicide bombs, guns and chemical weapons to attack England supporters before the Three Lions' clash with Russia on June 11th in Marseille.

Parisian police have revealed details of the planned terror attack after extracting data from Salah Abdeslam's laptop.

Abdeslam, 26, is currently being detained at Europe's largest prison - the Fleury-Mérogis Prison in Paris' suburbs.

​However, it is feared that despite his detention, his many followers may be seeking retribution for his arrest by carrying out the attack themselves.

UK security officials also have concerns that England fans may become targets of an ISIS gun attack while drinking at bars outside the official fan-zone.


As reported in the ​Daily Mirror, a senior Whitehall source is quoted as saying:

“What they might attempt outside of the secure zones is what worries us most.

“Bars full of happy, drunk blokes are a very soft target. We are working extremely closely with the French.”

Images and references of Marseille's Old Port were found on Abdeslam's laptop. This has raised concerns as it is the city England fans are planning to congregate in before England's opening game in a fortnight's time.

The news comes just weeks after ISIS members left ​14 dead and 28 injured at a Real Madrid supporter's club in Iraq.

This was the first of two attacks, as Real Madrid fans were also targeted while watching the Champions League final in Iraq on Saturday, with another 12 dead and eight injured.

Problem is ISIS probably couldn't tell the difference between an English fan and a Welsh one and for that matter could you tell suicide bomber if one was walking towards you.

The euros fall on the religion of peace month of Ramadan. There was numerous attacks during that month last year and they have threatened the same again this year.

Something will happen, probably a lone wolf who is not on the radar and wants to be famous.I also believe they will start a concerted attack on the Costas; plus Majorca will certainly be in their plans.Egyptian tourism has halved, Tunisian tourism decimated.The benificiaries of this have been Spain and Portugal. So the next logical step would be to attack the main tourist destinations of the British.
