ISIS jihadis are recruiting British men to carry out lone wolf attacks on busy shopping centres and London landmarks such as Big Ben, it has been revealed.

The recruiters are using the encrypted Telegram messaging app to communicate and highlighting atrocities such as Nice and the shooting in Orlando's gay nightclub Pulse as inspiration.

In one instance, jihadi Abu Muslim Khurasani is said to have tried to get an undercover journalist to carry out a car bomb attack on a busy location in the UK.

He allegedly told the reporter to 'learn from Nice', in reference to the truck terror attack on Bastille Day which left 84 dead, and gave him a list of targets including Big Ben and London Bridge, according to The Sun.

After two months of coaching the reporter, using Telegram, the recruiter reportedly then settled on a major shopping centre for a Nice-style attack.

He also sent a bomb-making guide and told the journalist to hide an explosive device in a car after making it from materials which could be bought on the high street for £300.

Khurasani allegedly said: 'Learn from Nice. Get a car you can park somewhere busy with many people — and a gun you can use at the same time.

'While sitting in car, use them all (referring to bullets) and quickly press the button. Both things must be in a hurry. No time gap.'

The ISIS recruiter, who claimed to have active jihadi operations in the UK and the US, also reportedly spoke about recent atrocities carried out by the terror group.

He mentioned the attacks in Nice and the shooting in Orlando's gay nightclub Pulse as examples of what jihadis could achieve.

The Sun said evidence gathered as part of the undercover investigation had been handed over to anti-terror police and MI5, who requested that the location of the shopping centre not be revealed.
