Islamists planned terrorist attacks during Christmass Eve masses

According to former high ranking officer of Polish security services, ABW (Agency of Internal Security), in 2001 Al-Qaeda planned coordinated attack on multiple churches in Poland during a Midnight mass, Pasterka, the most important mass for Polish Catholics.

The attack would concentrate on the cathedrals in major cities which would ensure mass casualties, in tens of thousands. According to the official the terrorists spent a lot time on preparations. They visited Poland on many occasions as tourists. Fortunately ABW detected the plot early and was able to coordinate their actions with intelligence services of other nations. Terrorists were arrested as far as Australia.
