Terrorist stopped

Story: "Dhiren Barot was planning ``to kill as many innocent people as possible'' by detonating explosives at five U.S. financial institutions, Prosecutor Edmund Lawson QC told a London court today. In Britain, he was plotting to carry out a ``dirty'' bomb attack with radioactive substances to spread ``fear, terror and chaos,'' Lawson said.
Barot, 34, admitted one count of conspiracy to murder at a high-security hearing at Woolwich Crown Court, southeast of the city. Flanked by armed police guards, Barot told the court ``I plead guilty.''
Barot was arrested with a group of men in Britain in August 2004 and has since been held at Belmarsh prison, adjacent to Woolwich Crown Court.
"

Glad they stopped him. I wonder how many 'patriot act' survalence techniques were used to catch this guy. Wouldn't be suprised if quite a few were used, and these are prescisely the kind of things the Democrats try to stall or stop in the Senate. And thats why they are considered weak on terror.
