Security on international flights out of Pakistan has now been tightened
Three ISIS fanatics have been arrested in Pakistan over fears they were planning a terror attack no British soil on the 10th anniversary of the July 7 bombings.
Maps of London and ISIS propaganda were found on their computers during a police raid on a shop in Peshawar, north-west Pakistan.
Documents threatening Pakistan's army were also seized but no weapons were discovered.
Pakistani news websites have named them as Asmatullah and Abdur Rehman - two Afghan nationals - as well as Mohammad Ibrahim.
Security checks on international flights out of Pakistan have been tightened to prevent terrorists wreaking havoc in the UK next week, ten years after a series of explosions killed 52 in London, sources told the Mirror.
A spokesman for Pakistan's interior ministry said checks had been 'intensified', adding: 'The aim is to secure airports.'
A police report of the raid said: 'In the initial search police found literature in favour of Islamic State and Taliban... Also pamphlets against government of Pakistan and its security forces.'
The terror group poses a 'huge and deadly threat' to the UK, a former Scotland Yard chief told the Mirror.
Peter Clarke said: 'At the moment we are arresting one person for terror-related crimes every day. That's the highest rate at any point in 15 years, apart from the immediate aftermath of 9/11 and 7/7. There are 120 people awaiting trial as we speak.'
But he added that 'massive plots to commit terrorist acts have been thwarted' every year since the July 7 bombings and hailed UK's counter-terrorism 'the envy of the world'.
Three of the London suicide bombers were from Pakistani families and two - Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer - went to Pakistan for terror training before the attacks.
