**CORRECTS DATE OF STATEMENT BY EUROPEAN OFFICIALS** FILE - In this Jan. 31, 2010 file photo, a U.S. Predator drone flies over the moon above Kandahar Air Field, southern Afghanistan. European security officials said Wednesday Sept. 29, 2010, a terror plot to wage Mumbai-style shooting sprees or other low-budget attacks in Britain, France and Germany is still active and that sites in Pakistan _ where the threat was intercepted _ are being targeted for al-Qaida operatives. The Obama administration intensified the use of drone-fired missiles in Pakistan's border area, but this month there have been at least 21 attacks _ more than double the highest number fired in any other single month.
