LONDON, England (CNN) -- Five Britons have been jailed for life after being found guilty of plotting to carry out al Qaeda-inspired bomb attacks across Britain on targets ranging from a nightclub to a shopping mall.

The gang planned to use 600 kg (1,300 lb) of fertilizer to make explosives to be used in bombings in revenge for Britain's support for the United States in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, prosecutors said.

Notice this was a police matter, not a military one.

Carpet bombing random civilians will do nothing to stop terrorism.

Targeted investigation and intel does.

2. Hear hear
Just think if we'd spent even a fraction of the trillion or so dollars on homeland security instead on bombs how much safer we'd be today.
