Subject: RE: BS: Unarmed soldier killed, Woolwich (London)
Times yesterday.
A gang of Islamic extremists who plotted a bomb and gun attack against the English Defence League hoped to cause a "tit-for-tat spiral of violence", a court heard yesterday.
The leader of the six men, who have pleaded guilty to planning a terror attack on an EDL rally during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, had been under the surveillance of M15.
But the gang was stopped, travelling back from the rally of the far-Right group with two shotguns, swords, knives, a nail bomb and a pipe bomb.
