The threat level for international terrorism in the UK remains SEVERE – meaning an attack is highly likely – after documents found in Syria revealed a chilling plot to commit further atrocities in the West. The level is set by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre and M15. ISIS-inspired attacks have brought terror to London and Manchester in recent years. Germany, France, Belgium and Spain have also been targeted by jihadists in a spate of deadly assaults.

The ISIS files were found on a hard drive in a liberated area in the Syrian desert, according to the Sunday Times.

The disk includes documents containing the names of hundreds of fighters, their budgets and correspondence.

In one letter reportedly written in January, a senior militant outlined a plan to help ISIS members living in Europe commit attacks.

The letter, written in formal Arabic and addressed to a local ISIS leader in Syria, also detailed plans to bring ISIS fighters from abroad to Syria.

The letter states: “The brother has individuals who want to work in areas far away from the Islamic State.

“He has permission to be in touch with them and for them to carry out the operations.

“Before they carry out the operations, they will send us the targets if the connection is secure.

“Otherwise, they do the operation. “These needs, however, must be ‘realistic and reasonable’.”

In another letter, the same fighter, allegedly addressing ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, said: “We send you, God protect you, our proposal, which is the establishment of crocodile cells.

“Their work will be limited to killing the enemies of God and taking their money and sending it to you — if you’d like.

“You only need to point with your finger to any territory where you think there is danger to the Islamic State, and we will put their leaders on the ground, by the will of God.”

The uncovering of the terrifying details comes after US-backed forces declared ISIS’s five-year caliphate is over after they were defeated in Syria but warned of future action by sleeper cells.
