The cell, which included Britain's youngest ever terrorist, arrested on his way home from his GCSE chemistry exam, was found with information about the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh along with the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, the Earl of Wessex and the Princess Royal.
Also on the list were Princess Michael of Kent, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and The Duke and Duchess of Kent.
Aabid Hussain Khan, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, had compiled pictures, maps and details of the opening hours of official residences from information available on the internet.
There were also details of London landmarks including the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge and the underground as well as the New York and Washington metros and a home-made video of the Washington Memorial and World Bank in the US.
A counter-terrorism source said: "They had details of explosives and poisons along with information about London landmarks and a computer folder on Royal residences. We would be foolish to rule out the fact that they may have been planning an attack."
Detective Chief Superintendent John Parkinson, Head of the Counter Terrorism Unit in Leeds, said the men posed a "very real threat".

Like that’s gonna make a difference. The best guy in the group is already dead.
Well, at least they’re catching these guys. There must be some unlawful, covert “profiling” going on behind the scenes *GASP* because the Good Guys seem to be busting quite a few of these plots as of late. :)
It is going to take a terrible act such as this to make a lot of blockheads in Europe and the US that we are facing a real problem.
Thats what scares the hell out of me
Another terrible act, I assume you mean.
Busting and prosecuting, yes, but as other articles on FR of late show, they are not convicting, or if convicting, the sentences are light.
Deportations are not common either on conviction, as they convict claims he will be tortured or executed on return to his homeland, and claims asylum.
This group seems homegrown though, which the British don’t seem to fathom yet.
Wow! That's a boatload of money.
Does anyone here think this would be an extremely dumb move (on the part of the terror cell)?
Not really. Typical would be more appropriate.
Militant terrorists are not known for their smarts.
He definately likes pretty boys.
the proper punishment for this fellow is to be hanged , but not until dead, then drawn and quartered.
The British should return to this form of capitol punishment in regards to these demonic foreigners that seek to kill their Royals (and anyone else)
That alone would give the muslim devils cause for pause.
We are too kind
If the questions revolved around the chemical composition of various and sundry explosives, I assume so...
