Germany and France must be glad they weren’t involved in the Iraq war.
An al-Qaeda plot to carry out co-ordinated attacks in the UK, France and Germany has been uncovered, Western intelligence sources say.
Small teams of militants were to seize and kill hostages, similar to the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, the sources said.
Recent US drone raids in Pakistan reportedly targeted the al-Qaeda militants who inspired the plans.
UK officials say the plot has not been stopped, but an attack is not expected to be carried out imminently.
