    Is it just me or does the whole thing seem very amateurish.
    Read this:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29662245
    Like they planned to buy a gun with a silencer and did hostile reconnaissance using Google street view. FFS amateurs. Lads will ye look at the Bishopsgate bombing or the Arndale bombing, Jesus Wept !

    Sounds made-up to me...
    I thought silencers were only in the movies and how do you use street view in a hostile fashion?

    maybe if you roar and shout at your viewing device, then it could be construed as hostile !

    Reminds me of the story in which the FBI spends time grooming and encouraging a man to carry out a terrorist attack. They choose an easily manipulable person, in this case a teenager with intellectual disabilities, and then give him a target, fake weapons and pressure to carry out some silly plan. They then make a high profile arrest, the government looks good, the FBI gets credit and the individual is sent to prison for life.

    This lad never left his mother's side normally, couldn't navigate to the city by himself, had no idea about politics, etc. He went to the local mosque and asked them there:

    "He asked 'what (is) jihad?'" she told HRW. "We tried to explain there is no jihad here. I told him when you give money to the poor, this (is) jihad. When you stay with your mother and father who need you, this is jihad. And he was so convinced, he said, 'I'll stay with you mom.'"

    We'll have plenty more SKy News-esque arrests to secure promotions for high ranking intelligence workers no doubt.
