ISIS fanatics called for a 'lone wolf' attack on Parliament via a secret messaging app just weeks before the carnage in Westminster.
Jihadists used Telegram to outline a list of possible victims and 'perfect targets' in Britain including politicians, Jewish schools pubs and clubs.
In the post was an illustration - titled 'Fight Them' - of an ISIS terrorist dressed like Jihadi John holding a sword in front of Big Ben, as a fireball engulfed the background with a tattered Union Flag flying in the wind.
Six weeks after the disturbing call to arms was posted on Telegram, terrorist Khalid Masood launched his horrific attack on Westminster.
The rampage saw the murder of four and the injuring of at least 29, when the jihadist mowed down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before stabbing a police officer outside Parliament.
During conversations on the app, fanatics ordered each other to target football stadiums due to a lack of security, reports the Sunday Mirror.

They also listed different methods of attacking the matches, suggesting that fans should be targeted at the end of games.
The terrorists wrote: 'Devices can be left in around the stadium, bars, cars, buses, trains, transportation etc.
'Attacks can compromise of explosives, gun attacks, knife, martyrdom vests, CHEMICAL and any other.'

Telegram was used by fanatics before the attacks on Nice in July 2016 and Berlin in December last year.
The platform is a favourite of terrorists because it uses end-to-end encryption, which is designed to make sure only senders and recipients can view the content of messages, making it hard for security services to hack into.
It is believed that sick videos of high profile attacks were also posted on Telegram by jihadists to 'inspire' each other, including the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich and the 7/7 London bombings.

The investigation into the Westminster carnage is still ongoing with police holding a 58-year-old man in custody after he was arrested in Birmingham.
Masood, 52, used a rented Hyundai 4x4 to mow down pedestrians on the Westminster Bridge before ploughing the car into the Carriage Gates of Parliament, at 2.30pm on March 22.
Three people died, excluding the attacker, Londoner Leslie Rhodes, 75, US tourist Kurt Cochran, 54, and mother-of-two Aysha Frade, 43.
He then got out of the car and ran towards the House of Commons, stabbing PC Keith Palmer to death. Moments after the rampage, Masood was shot dead by an armed officer.
