RISTINA, Kosovo — Simultaneous attacks by ISIS have been foiled — including one targeting the Israeli national soccer team, police in Kosovo said. 

According to a statement issued Thursday, 18 people were arrested in Kosovo and six more across both Albania and Macedonia. Police said explosive devices, weapons, electronic equipment and a drone were recovered. 

Reuters quoted a police statement as saying that the cell was "planning to commit terrorist attacks in Kosovo and also [an attack] against the Israeli football team and their fans during the Albania-Israel match." It also referred to "synchronized terrorist attacks." 

Police said the suspects were in contact with ISIS member, the self-declared "commander of Albanians in Syria and Iraq," Lavdrim Muhaxheri, from whom they received orders to attack. 

At least 200 people have been detained or investigated in Kosovo over their alleged links with ISIS in recent years. 

A total of 300 Kosovars went to Syria to fight alongside ISIS militants and more than 50 have been killed there. 

International and local security agencies in Kosovo, including NATO mission and the EU police mission, are worried that many of those returning home from combat zones could pose a security threat. "

Thank god it failed. It's scary because ISIS is really influencing the Muslim Balkan nations in Europe.

My dad went to Bosnia a couple months ago and learned that Muslims from other countries who live in Bosnia pay the people there to be more "conservative" like paying Bosniak women to wear Burqa and this works due to the poverty in that region of Europe.

A lot of the Balkans are not in the EU but I wonder how many locals are already "part" of ISIS and are plotting attacks in Western Europe...I really fear for the safety of Europe.

Yes but these are white European Muslims. The Muslims in other EU countries are immigrants.
