Via Daily Mail:
Six Islamic extremists who plotted a bloody bomb attack on a far-right rally only failed because the gathering finished early – even though they were under surveillance, a court heard.
The group admitted planning a murderous attack at the English Defence League (EDL) event in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, when they appeared before a judge today.
Five members of the gang travelled to the rally with an arsenal of weapons – including a nail bomb which contained 458 pieces of shrapnel, a partially assembled pipe bomb, two shotguns, swords and knives.

The car was impounded and it was only two days later that staff looked at the contents of the Renault Laguna – and found the arsenal of weapons.
