The U.S. State Department confirms that the 12 terrorism suspects arrested in the United Kingdom last week had targeted the American Embassy in London.

British authorities arrested 12 men Dec. 20 for suspicion of terrorism. Few details of a possible plot emerged until a court hearing in London today for the nine men still in custody. A British police statement released earlier in the day did not provide a list of targets but said the men had conspired to cause "explosions of a nature likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property."

The BBC reported that prosecutors told the court that the nine men had plotted bomb attacks on the American Embassy and the London Stock Exchange in the days before Christmas. The men were also said to have targeted unnamed political and religious figures.

More from the Telegraph:

Police were said to have found a list of six sites, including the full postal address of the Stock Exchange, Boris Johnson’s 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.

I swear if i was terrorist i would never get caught; like bin laden

Lol that'd be the shittiest life ever, he has to move from desert to desert every day. So good luck.

The CIA gets tips, why do you think the U.S. hasn't been attacked since 2001? Okay "Mr. Expert"... LMFAO.

true but no one would snitch if I was the leader because they would know what would happen to them
and if the US tried to find me I would hide in the desert where they could never get me and if they saw me I would quickscope them

True, but they could send RC-XDs.. Have fun quickscoping those.

You'll have nowhere to run when I pull out my SR-71 =D

On topic: Good thing they caught them, that would of been an awful Christmas present!

true those RC-XD cars are way to fast to run away from


On Topic - I don't know what terrorist get out of this. OK they blow stuff up and kill innocent people. What benefit do they get? Do they think it's cool that we lived in a feared country

They said about this on the news but they did not say the target was the US Embassy.

Nice that they were caught, or imagine If they wasn't :confused:
