Those "little terror plots' came close to killing thousands of people. Hundreds were stuck on airplanes on the tarmac for 10 hours. Roads were closed. The airport was closed. It cost the UK a ton of money.
There was nothing 'little' about it. Inept .... but not 'little'.

Simon, are you a Muslim or just in complete denial with your own delusion of granduer? This operation had the potential to casue mass casualties against soft targets which is the mo for Al-qeada. Attack the weak and reap the benefits of fear, since that is what terrorism is.

The "potential to cause mass casualties"... well, it DIDNT.
Al-Queda is a fictious organisation,

I think that the next big attack has been happening for some years now.
How is it that most of these so-called attacks get foiled now and before 9/11 they didn't? Is it better police work or are the terrorists more incompetent? I say neither. These attacks are meant to be stopped; that their whole purpose is to disrupt, to cause mayhem, and to increase polices crackdowns, and what better way to do it than to recruit locals to "carry" these attacks out.
What is my proof? History. It is a tactic that has been used before.
The anarchists and communists in Russia during the 19th century used political assassinations and bombings and other similar tactics to deliberately provoke the authorities into into greater and heavier crackdowns increasing the oppression of the state and do their (the anarchists etc) recruiting for them as it were. An added bonus was that it was thought that the heavier the hand of the state the more social unrest it would ferment.
