five guys trying to do what 100k parents would like to see.

The men were arrested during raids at 5.45am at a rubbish depot in central London based on an intelligence tip off received overnight.
The suspects, aged 26, 27, 36, 40 and 50 were arrested by officers from Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command on su ion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
They are said to be from a variety of nationalities including a number of Algerian origin.
The depot where they worked is less than a mile from Hyde Park where the Pope was due to hold a prayer vigil tomorrow evening.
As street cleaners they would have been able to move relatively freely and incon uously through the London crowds.
Westminster City Council said the men worked for Veolia Environmental Services, a contractor which employs 650 on-street staff to keep Westminster's streets clean and free from rubbish.
The men have been taken to a central London police station where they will be interviewed by detectives.
Searches are being carried out under the Terrorism Act 2000 at the rubbish depot and at residential premises in north and east London.
Sources said that initial searches had not uncovered any bomb-making or hazardous items.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said the arrests were made after they received “information” and added: “Following initial inquiries by detectives a decision was made to arrest the five men.”
Pope Benedict XVI’s security arrangements were reviewed following the arrests and Scotland Yard said “we are satisfied that our current policing plan remains appropriate. The itinerary has not changed.”
There was no change to the terrorism threat level which remains at “severe” meaning that a terrorist attack is highly likely.
The Pope continued with his engagements, unaffected by the developments.
The Pope has been informed of the arrests, Vatican spokesman Fr Lombardi said. He told reporters there was "no need to change anything about the programme with the Pope and the security for this trip".
"The Pope is calm and happy and we go on with this trip with courage and joy," he added.
"We are totally confident in the work of the police and Scotland Yard."
A multimillion-pound operation is in place to protect the Pope during his tour of Scotland, London and the West Midlands, with thousands of officers involved.
The pontiff is also protected by members of the Swiss Guard.
He often travels in the Popemobile, which has a bulletproof glass enclosure. The Vatican abandoned the use of an open-topped vehicle after the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II in 1981.
A spokesman for the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales said: "We have absolute confidence in the security operation to protect both the Pope and the public.
"The Pope is enjoying a wonderful visit, warmly welcomed wherever he goes."

Muslims? No way...not Muslims.
should i put a ? at the end?
Now a 6th man has been arrested.
Maybe after all is said and done 100,000 parents will be arrested for this alleged plot to kill the Pope.
finally, a plot with substance.
C'mon now, you must be tolerant. They only wanted to kill him to promote peace and tolerance.
Ah DarrinS, how I enjoy your logical failings. But it's nice you continue to promote your fear of all Muslims continually on this board.
lol Darrin
I see the local idiots are out in full force today...
Of course, all Muslims want to kill the Pope.[/DarrinS]
Quit calling him Islamophobic!
Right, he's just afraid of all Muslims. That's totally different.
nuance
I think Catholic priests shouldn't molest childrent. This makes me Catholophobic. (I know not ALL Catholic priests molest children.)
I don't believe in the practice of polygamy. This makes me Mormonphobic. (I know not ALL Mormons practice polygamy.)
I think Scientologist are just ing weird. This makes me Scientolophobic. (Yes, all Scientologists are ing weird.)
I think killing innocent Christians, Jews, and Hindu in the name of Islam is a bad thing. This makes me Islamophobic. (I know not ALL Muslims are terrorists)
I also don't think the following practices are good:
Honor killings
Stoning
Female cir cision
Wife beating

But you don't post three threads a day on any of those things.
You are obsessed with Muslims. You wear Islamophobia like a Badge of Honor. Why does it bother you so much to be called out on it?
Quick! Post a video of some fringe lunatic Muslims from another country to justify your fear of Muslims!
I think a lot of religions are idiotic, but at least those religions haven't been flying planes into buildings, beheading people, blowing themselves up, etc.
How do you not see how ridiculous you sound?
You're not this dumb. Your hate has completely taken over. Take a breath.
Funny; I didn't see that article mention anything about the five attackers saying they wanted to kill the Pope in the name of Allah.
The body of evidence begs to differ.

DarrinS, its become beyond apparent that either you do not understand what Islamophobia means or you simply refuse to accept that you have it in the face of overwhelming evidence.
You haven't made a single coherent point on this subject. Not one. Why don't you just admit you don't much like Muslims in general, you think they're violent, uncivilized extremists. Everyone already knows this is what you believe. You've outed yourself over and over. I think even you've seen it, but you refuse to acknowledge it because, as I'm fairly certain you know, your criticism of Islam as a religion stems from fear and ignorance.
You just know they're ALL potential terrorists.
