Don't know about the source but here goes:::
------------------------------------------------------------

A suspected terrorist plot to bomb British cities was foiled by British spies, The Sun reported.

The RAF intercepted coded messages between pilots flying from Amsterdam to an unnamed Middle-Eastern country. The code, which referenced pop music, was then decoded by British spies at GCHQ, who believe the pilots were trying to smuggle in explosives or chemical weapons. The plotters used the emergency frequency to discuss their plans.

Attacks in London, Bath, Bristol and Ipswich were allegedly planned for last November after the Paris attacks.

A Ministry of Defense spokesman said the government would not comment on issues of national security.

GCHQ is a British intelligence and security organization responsible for providing signals intelligence and information assurance to the British government and armed forces.

"the emergency frequency" as in the aircraft emergency frequency "guard" 121.500 MHz?  Isn't that one of the most monitored frequencies in the world?

yes it is...  that bit sent up a red flag for me but...  I'm paranoid  :P  I have no idea what other people might do so I let it pass.  Who knows what the minds of; "I don't give a damn, I'm going to die anyway", types might do...  When reading stories about these type of people you have to understand they don't think like we do and that is why they are so dangerous.

We are brought up on Logic and they aren't... call what they have learned a form of; scat-a-logical thinking...
