Sounds like pre-positioned weapons caches - not very well stashed though if they can be hunted up that easy.

They may have had an informant. The "hiker that found the weapons" may be a cover story.

Hopefully the find will disrupt the attack teams and cause them to abort their missions. Security teams must keep searching for weapons caches and safe houses.

Many plans are made. Most are never executed.

Maybe - but you'd think they'd kept it quiet under OPSEC without need of any cover story - with the possible exception that they had a compelling reason to deliberately feed such a story out.

“Many plans are made. Most are never executed. “

This MO is a little like what police found when Trump came to speak at Western Conservative Summit in Denver. Bricks to use as weapons were being stashed in dumpsters all over downtown, presumably to be used against all those conservatives conveniently in one spot. The dumpsters were marked.

Police decoded the marks, located all of them, and made it impossible for the bad guys to use the bricks.
