London, Dec 20: The Scotland Yard has warned London of possible Mumbai style attack in early next year, a media report said on Sunday, Dec 20.

"Mumbai is coming to London," said a senior detective from SO15, the Metropolitan police's counter-terrorism command.

According to The Times reports, the warning has underlined an assessment that a terrorist cell may be preparing an attack on London early next year.

The warning, probably the bluntest issued by police, has underlined an assessment that a terrorist cell may be preparing an attack on London early next year, the report said.

During the Mumbai attacks in Nov in 2009, 10 terrorists from Pakistan had killed 166 people over three days in India's financial hub.

"Before, there has been speculation. Now we are getting what appears to be a definite plot to carry out a firearms attack on London," the official said.
