Spain 'al Qaeda cell' may have planned strike to coincide with Olympics

Spanish security suspect the cell was testing a remote-controlled plane as a potential bomber. Spanish investigators found a video in which Yalcin was flying a remote-controlled airplane, according to Reinares.

The footage showed the plane, which was about three meters long, being maneuvered into a descent. Two packets were then seen dropping from either wing of the plane following his command.

"In the images he can't help expressing his joy for the successful try," Reinares told CNN. "Terrorists innovate and adapt to security measures, we have to always keep this in mind," he added.
This cell had some creative individuals, which is a sign of things to come as terrorists adapt new technology and adjust their tactics. We'll likely continue to hear the statements from self proclaimed experts telling us that terrorist use of hang gliders and remotely controls planes is improbable and list reasons why that make sense to someone using Western logic and thinking conventionally, much like the experts did prior to 9/11 when they down played the threat about terrorists hijacking commercial airlines and crasing them into targets. What we think is improbable now will be the new normal tomorrow.

The judge's decision, released on Sunday, said video evidence seized from Yalcin could "rationally suggest the preparation" of an attack and that the explosives found in the Turk's home had a "seriously deadly potential."

Given the links between the three men since May, and given that Yalcin had "paid for the travel expenses and journey to Spain" for the two Russians, the judge decided to also charge the two for possession of explosives.
A hat tip to those who did the good police and intelligence work.
