Fantastic phrasing!

#4  Of course he didn't do this alone. He traveled to Libya.

Dad and all Dad's friends belonged to an Al Qaeda-linked group in the old days -- that's why Britain gave them asylum decades ago. Sonnyboy didn't need to find a cell, everybody from the olde country was already part of it, active or not.

And to whom did those other addresses where bombs were stashed belong?

#3  'The searches that we conducted on average took eight days to complete. The digital exhibits we've seized contain over three million files and 15 terabytes. We have now nearly 16,000 hours of CCTV and we anticipate it will take many months to work through this.
'We have taken 755 statements and there are 3,200 people who form part of the investigation.  


The authorities seem to be turning over many stones during the investigation a posteriori. Now if they could've done some of this a priori.

Of course he didn't do this alone. He traveled to Libya. He picked up some sophisticated bomb-making knowledge somewhere (probably Libya).

#2  Gee, seems like a lot of people knew. Thankfully the moderates didn't let him get away with it, eh?
