4/24/09 Pete Bostwick Disruption vs. Prosecution and the Manchester Plot - 4/22/09 | 1608 GMT By: Fred Burton and Scott Stewart
(PB - This Stratfor article entitled, "Disruption vs. Prosecution..." may be of interest, since it discusses the tensions among govt agencies when faced with a decision to disrupt an impending attack, or wait until it's closer to execution in order to obtain sufficient evidence to prosecute. .
On April 8, British authorities mounted a series of raids in Merseyside, Manchester and Lancashire that resulted in the arrest of 12 men suspected of being involved in a plot to conduct attacks over the Easter holiday weekend. In a press conference the following day, Prime Minister Gordon Brown noted that the men arrested were allegedly involved in “a very big terrorist plot.” British authorities have alleged that those arrested sought to conduct suicide bombing attacks against a list of soft targets that included shopping centers, a train station and a nightclub.
