This is a weird one for me.

They want to bomb an airfield so they load not 1, not 2 but 3 conspicuous white vans with explosives. Then disregarding caution they drive (in convoy?) along a country road.

Is it any wonder they were spotted.

May as well have painted TERRORISTS on the vans.

Maybe they watched one too many Die Hard movie.
 
Thoughts and prayers with Nigel Farage at this difficult time.

All 5 men are UK nationals, from London, in their early twenties, apparently.

That makes it extremely unlikely there were explosives in those vans.
