What exactly classes it as a 'terrorist' attack?

Wild guess: the eggs were rotten and hydrogen sulfide is classified as a hazardous substance?

But no hazardous substances were found, and no weapons either.

Searches at that property and houses in north and east London have not so far recovered any "hazardous items," Scotland Yard said.

Yeah, I'm also wondering what exactly were their plans. It's kinda vague....for all we know, they were just going to pie the pope in the face.

It all seems very odd to me, raiding and arresting a bunch of men with no capability to launch any form of attack and seemingly no actual plan to do so. Plus they're all Algerian for some reason.

Sometimes people manage to kill Pope:

This is the martyrdom of Pope Clement I.

Another way to look at the event:

Give credit. The police did well. London's security is worth praising.

from now on i will carry an anchoer necklace instead of a cross one!



well the arrest headline itself feels a bit like a scare tactic. a lot people just read headlines and will go. 'oh those pesky anti popists'
basicly there is not enough info for anything. so they shouldn't even make a report without having anything newsworthy :eek: [journalism is dead isn't it?}
