#1 Update
Christmas bomb plot: nine men remanded over plan to 'blow up Big Ben and Westminster Abbey'
They are alleged to have carried out reconnaissance missions before deciding on their possible targets.

Police were said to have found a list of six sites, including the full postal address of the Stock Exchange, Boris Johnsons London mayoral office and the US embassy.

Defendants were seen studying the tower of Big Ben, before inspecting Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and the Church of Scientology.

Al-Qaeda inspired books and leaflets, including instructions on making a pipe bomb, were also uncovered during the counter-terrorism operation.

Details of the alleged plot were outlined at City of Westminster magistrates court.

#2 "Defendants were seen studying . . . the Church of Scientology."

That would be ~~entertaining~~ interesting. Nobody attacks the C of S and gets away with it.
