MI5 discovered his plans after investigating the British links of Anwar al-Awlaki, the al-Qaeda leader behind the “underpants bomb” attack on a trans-Atlantic flight 14 months ago, sources said".
Comment: Nowhere in the news report could I actually find any act of terrorism. I think he is more of a Walter Mitty character. It is more tragic than dangerous. And I am more worried by Thought Crime being put on trial. There is more to this than the Twitter Joke Trial, but not much more. It would be a shame if an excessive sentence was passed because it would be imposed on the basis of what might have been than what really happened.
