UK police preparing for 'enormous' potential ISIS attacks, British terror chief says

London (CNN)British police are preparing for "enormous and spectacular" potential attacks on the UK as ISIS moves into its "next
natural phase," Britain's senior counterterrorism officer said Monday.

Mark Rowley, assistant commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, said that in the wake of the Paris terror attacks, ISIS had moved
on from a "narrow focus on police and military as symbols of the state, to something much broader."
"You see a terrorist group that has big ambitions for enormous and spectacular attacks, not just the types that we've seen foiled to
date," he said, citing as another example the downing of Metrojet Flight 9268.
