  An insider confirmed the news as a report claimed that terrorists could be planning a Mumbai-style raid during the Olympics.
  Risk consultants Exclusive Analysis said "soft targets" such as pubs were most likely to be hit but singled out the Westfield ­Stratford City shopping centre, in East London, as being at high risk.
  The group also warned against focusing on Islamists, saying Irish republican dissidents were ­plotting to disrupt the Olympic torch route. The Association of Chief Police Officers dismissed the study as "inaccurate".
