You should look more into the many other examples too then because a lot more of them are... well let's say the authorities are more directly involved than I can accept for a use of the word "foiled."



Yeah, the pattern is always the same:

1. Reach out to some young, impressionable, and vaguely angry kid.

2. Radicalize him, then convince him to carry out some plot.

3. Arrest him when he starts to go through with it.

4. Hold a press conference about how you foiled yet another terrorist plot.

5. GOTO 1
