More than 50 jihadis are suspected of being involved in planning attacks across Britain, and are among a reported 450 extremists living in the UK.
MI5 and counter terror cops believe "sleeper cells" could be waiting on orders to unleash mass killings on our streets.
A former British intelligence officer told the Mirror: “Everyone in the counter-terrorism community believes an attack in Britain will take place.
“For some time now it has been a case of not ‘if’ but ‘when’ and the pace of investigations to try and stop this happening is extremely dynamic and fast-moving.
“There is no respite and no sign of the threat to Britain going away.
“The shocking thing about what happened in Paris and the ongoing situation in Brussels is their ability.
“They have shown a high degree of organisation – more than was previously suspected – a strong logistical chain, the ability to get the material needed, guns, explosives, planning.”
Security services monitor the roughly 450 suspects so that they are always aware of their general movements even when they can't watch them 24 hours a day.
But close to 50 of them under even more intense scrutiny by MI5 and police teams.
