Islamic State ‘will pose as beach vendors’ according to intelligence chiefs

IS plotting to strike at European holiday resorts this summer

Beaches in Italy, Spain, and France are targets for attacks in the coming months, according to intelligence chiefs, with terrorists posing as vendors and placing bombs under sunbeds.

German tabloid Bild cited a source in the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) who said the German intelligence agency received information from their Italian counterparts which suggests that Islamic State (IS) is plotting to strike at European holiday resorts with terrorists disguising themselves as people selling goods on beaches.
