A commando-style terror plot that allegedly called for simultaneous attacks in multiple European cities has been disrupted, a senior U.S. intelligence official told Fox News late Tuesday, after the CIA launched a barrage of drone strikes in Pakistan to help thwart the plot.

The plot, which included simultaneous attacks on hotels in London, as well as cities in France and Germany, was in an "advanced but not imminent stage," Sky News reported. The plotters are purportedly of Pakistani or Algerian origin and have been trained in Pakistan's tribal areas.

While officials are still working to understand the plot, a leading concern is that the plotters were modeling their European assault on the 2008 attack in Mumbai, India, in which armed gunman killed more than 200 people in coordinated attacks at hotels and other easily accessed venues, current and former officials said.

Several U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal they haven't seen a terror threat as serious as the European plot for many years. "This isn't just your typical Washington talk about how the threats have evolved. People are very concerned about what they're seeing," the counterterrorism official said.

Intelligence leading to their arrest had resulted in heightened security at airports across Europe

Mumbai is full of cow worshipping Hindu idiots.

You really are ignorant and poorly educated, aren't you! Hindus do not worship the cow, dumbfuck. In Hinduism, the cow is revered as the source of food and symbol of life and may never be killed. Hindus do not worship the cow, however, and cows do not have especially charmed lives in India. It is more accurate to say the cow is taboo in Hinduism, rather than sacred.

You accuse others of being idiots. How laughable is that when you prove that you are an idiot of supreme ignorance.
 
The Obama administration is considering telling U.S. citizens to be vigilant as they travel in Europe.

American and European officials tell The Associated Press that the updated guidance is prompted by fresh al-Qaida threats.

The State Department is not commenting on the matter, but U.S. officials say it may issue a travel alert as early as tomorrow.

Officials have been concerned that terrorists may be plotting attacks in Europe with assault weapons on public places, similar to the deadly 2008 shooting spree in Mumbai, India.

One official says the U.S. initially considered warning U.S. citizens to stay away from public places in Europe, but decided to tone down the guidance.

Such a move could have negative implications for European tourism.
