New terror video calls for deadly attack on London's iconic Oxford Street
By Aaron Brown

ISLAMIST terrorists have called on militants stationed within the UK to launch a devastating attack on Oxford Street and other major shopping centres.

Fighters from the al Shabaab group made the terrifying plea to attack the heart of the capital in their latest video message.

Oxford Street, which is hugely popular amongst tourists visiting London, is home to more than 300 shops and visited by an estimated five million people each week.

In the footage, the radicals specifically mention Oxford Street, and give GPS coordinates for the Westfield shopping centres in Stratford and Shepherd's Bush.

The masked militant in the terror video speaks with a British-sounding accent.

US authorities have confirmed they are taking the threats made in the video "seriously".

The Metropolitan Police told Sky News its Counter Terrorism Command is aware of the video and is assessing the content.
