Britain tourists who are planning to visit Spain are being warned over the increase in terror threat. Spain’s terror threat has been raised to ‘severe’. The terror group has issued threats to the tourist spots. Among the most popular destinations in Spain for the British holidaymakers are Benidorm, Barcelona and capital Madrid. All three have been threatened by ISIS.
Police patrols have been stepped up across the European country, as well as its islands and cops are ready to deal with any trouble that ISIS might cause.
Up to 40,000 more Spanish police will be deployed to tourist hotspots such as stations, hotels, beaches and restaurants and will remain there until the end of the peak season. The additional officers have been brought in as part of Operation Summer. It is a mission with an aim to ‘take full action to obtain information in order to prevent terrorist acts’ while also “reinforcing security measures at events and places that will attract a large number of people”.
Police have raised the terror threat level to four out of five. Number five is the most severe. The U.K. Foreign Office warns that terror attacks in Spain are likely. The Government said in a statement: “Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Spain.
Al-Muntasir, another terrorist organisation has issued three threats to Barcelona in a month. ISIS threatened to attack the Notre Dame cathedral with another blaze in a sick message for Spain’s neighbour France.
