A few .50 cal rounds from 1000 yards will do wonders to any vehicle (and the driver(s).

Screw 'em, let's see the fireworks from afar, not nearby on the front doorstep...

My guess is that the information came out of the German al-Qaida cell which was the base for the 9/11 attack. There have been several arrests over the past several weeks and months in Germany, and yesterday arrests and searches were done in Germany based on a link with the Malaysia al-Qaida cell.
