Extremists linked to the al-Qaeda have claimed that home-grown terrorists are plotting "spectacular attacks" in Britain, a news report said today.

According to reports, the al-Qaeda militants have labeled Britain and Europe as a bigger enemy than the United States in an internet magazine favoured by the extremists.

The website, promoted by supporters of extremist cleric Abdullah al-Faisal who was deported from Britain after serving a jail sentence for inciting violence, warns of "spectacular attacks", The Sun reported today.

The British tabloid said the strikes are being planned by terrorists living in Britain in coordination with others overseas.

Security experts in the UK have warned repeatedly that al-Qaeda inspired home-grown terrorism is the number one challenge for Britain.
