JihadWatch is reporting that an attack similar to the one on Mumbai, India, in 2008, is being planned for the city of London.
Scotland Yard warns: "Mumbai is coming to London"
Chatter is increasing among the Misunderstanders of Islam. "Police expect Mumbai-style terror attack on City of London,"

One contributor suggested fighters could use automatic weapons to strike places such as nightclubs, sporting venues and Jewish centres.
In an online discussion hosted on December 2, another contributor invited suggestions for carrying out "guerrilla warfare" and proposed "a group of mujaheddin raid police stations and fire at them".
Another said: "Make sure that all those at the location are of age, that there are no children and so on. Insist on the locations and times where no Muslims or children are to be expected.
"If machine guns are available, and explosive and expertise for [explosives] are not available, this is a good way ... The [Mumbai] operation is the ideal scenario for operations you are talking about."
A third contributor said targets should be "chosen in a studied manner".
He added: "In general, targeting economic joints and intelligence centres if possible has priority over police stations."...
