LONDON, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Metropolitan Police Chief Commissioner Ian Blair Thursday said U.K. authorities had broken up three planned terror attacks since the July 7 London bombings.
Blair, speaking on BBC Radio 4's "Today" program, said terrorists were plotting against the United Kingdom but officials were "watching some of them." But, he said, there's no way to tell if officials are watching all of the terrorists.
He told the BBC three plots had been foiled since the July 7 series of bombings on London mass transit buses and trains and that police were carrying out 75 percent more anti-terror operations than before July.
"There are people in the United Kingdom who are currently planning atrocities in the United Kingdom," Blair told the BBC. "It doesn't mean that they will get through but it does mean that we are facing a new morality."
