The story seems to be: routine security procedure of well protected highly secure nuclear establishment routinely picks up people acting a bit suspiciously - as you would expect them to. Not many details have been released by the police - though it is mentioned in some reports that the 5 men are in their 20s and of Bangladeshi descent.
Some orgs though can't help but tell us we should feel terrorised!!!
e.g. "Nuclear terror alert as UK police arrest five men at Sellafield" and some love to make the link to OBL and AQ by stating things like "no link proven to AQ or OBL".
Of course it could prove to be a really huge threat to a nuclear plant by a well trained group of killers - maybe they were away on the day they did "don't wander into routine security patrols with cameras looking suspicious" training.
As others have said in recent years, and I'll repeat... If the objective of "terrorism" is to terrify the civilian population it seems you don't even need to have a credible plan or the means to execute it... rather you just need to feed a story to our media and we'll terrorise ourselves!
Looking forward to see if they are charged let alone convicted of anything serious.
interesting to see how news organisations report the arrest of 5 people near Sellafield (Nuke site).
