The part that's most troubling to me?
Quote:
Those arrested were all born and brought up in Britain. Security sources played down suggestions of any direct link between the arrested men and al-Qaida.
Sources referred to groups of young radicalised Muslims who were "difficult to label" but viciously anti-western. Security sources suggested that the motive of the alleged planned attacks was anti-western but not dictated by anyone in the al-Qaida hierarchy.

If there's no link between these loonies and a sponsoring state or terrorist network, things are a bit more serious than we thought. Now we have freelancers and dabblers taking up arms.
