” . . .A senior security source said of the latest assessment: “The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre [Jtac] assessed that a group of individuals, it is not known how many, clearly had the capability and the intent to carry out attacks on the UK. Therefore there was a strong likelihood of further attacks.” Jtac also warned that al-Qaida’s “Kurdish network in Iran [was] planning what we believe may be a large-scale attack against a western target”. It added: “A member of this network is reportedly involved in an operation which he believes requires al-Qaida core authorisation. We assess that this operation is most likely to be a large-scale mass casualty attack”. Jtac’s threat levels are based on current intelligence, recent events and what is known of terrorist intentions and capabilities. The term “critical” denotes that an attack is “expected imminently”. It is the result of an overall intelligence assessment, not specific intelligence. . . “
Coincidentally, the 5 IRGC Qods officers detained in January were captured in Iraqi Kurdistan. It was likely in retaliation two weeks later that Iran abducted and killed the 5 American soldiers in Karbala. Just as on 9/11, Iran is facilitating a major al Qaeda operation, but this time from within Iraq instead of Afghanistan. The April article that this article is repeating went on to say the chatter indicated a “Hiroshima” type of operation.
