jenny is in london and, jenny, let's start with how officials found out about this. how did they? >> well, actually, we've been talking to a pakistani intelligence officer who doesn't want to be named and he told us the way we found out about this was because a number of british born pakistani suspects were arrested in pakistan earlier this month and during the interrogation they were being inteared by u.s., uk and pakistani intelligence officers and they revealed a plot to essentially go on a killing spree across europe. it was certainly supposed to be spreading to france, germany and denmark. having said that, at the moment, the state will alert here in the uk remain severe so that means the threats for a terror attack is highly likely and in germany, however, they haven't increased their level of attack and that's possibly because they say this plot was uncovered and it's very early embryonic stages. >> jenny, thanks so much. i want to bring in international terrorism consultant. michael seldom is a money executive for deloit. she mentioned, obviously, pakistan. there have been
