'Police Foil July 7-Sized Attack Every Year'

Police are foiling a terrorist plot on the scale of the July 7 attacks every year, a senior officer has revealed.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Osborne added that the threats against Britain are "constantly changing" and Islamic extremists are now planning in smaller groups to avoid detection.
"On average we've probably had about one potential attack planned with an intent to create something similar to July 7 every year," he said.
"There is no doubt that the big sophisticated 9/11 or 7/7-type plots are much harder to organise, they did need a lot of overseas direction, and some of the al Qaeda leadership have said 'that's good if you can do it', but whatever you can do at whatever size is useful.
