I'm telling you...I got a bad feeling about the G20 conference that is planned for later this week in London. The air is thick with potential attacks at this conference and today, the British security forces arrested five suspected terrorists that appeared to be plotting a bomb attack on G20 leaders. Here's some of the details from The Daily Mail:


Five people suspected of terrorist offences are being questioned by police today in connection with an alleged plot to target the G20 summit.
Three men and two women have been arrested under the Terrorism Act in Plymouth over the last three days after officers uncovered a cache of weapons and suspected extremist material during a house search.
They are being questioned over claims they planned to target the meeting of the world's most powerful political leaders in London later this week.
The five were held after officers found weapons, imitation weapons, suspicious devices and 'material relating to political ideology' during a house search, a police spokesman said.

The alleged plot was uncovered after officers conducted a series of raids following the arrest of a 25-year-old man on suspicion of criminal damage on Friday evening.

I mean look at how lucky the Brits got on this one. They arrest this guy last Friday for a pretty benign offense and when they do the search they find all this shit and the connection to the others. How many more terrorists are holed up right now with the same plans but aren't going to get caught foolishly ahead of time?It seems to me that London is brimming with an awful lot of asshats who just are not willing to unclench their fists.

The arrests will heighten tensions ahead of this week's summit in London.A massive police operation is in place to protect the world leaders, including President Obama who is due to arrive in the capital tomorrow.
The alleged plot was uncovered after officers conducted a series of raids following the arrest of a 25-year-old man on suspicion of criminal damage on Friday evening.As police searched his home they found the weapons and suspected extremist material.
Several suspicious devices were also seized and sent for detailed forensic examination.Three people at the property were arrested for drugs offences. Further investigations led police to a 19-year-old man who was arrested yesterday
