Two schoolboys bought bomb-making gear from the internet and plotted to blow up Parliament and Buckingham Palace - before a worried mother of one of the teens contacted police.

The 15-year-olds, from North Tyneside, have been jailed after it was revealed they planned suicide bombings at public buildings and purchased components to build an explosive device.

Chilling Skype exchanges between the two revealed a desire to target a school and a shopping centre and their hopes to die a wanted man like killer Raoul Moat, a court heard....

...The teens boasted they wanted to go 'out with a bang', planned to kill families in their homes, make a beheading video and to blow up Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament.
The pair referred to the death of Lee Rigby during the shocking exchanges.

Actually, I read it in the Times, but that is behind a paywall, so for an online source it was either the Mail, Express, or Russia Today.

Don't worry, I have scrubbed my eyes with carbolic, and run CCcleaner on the PC...

Well I must say they sound like normal well adjusted teenagers who haven't at all been influenced by what they've seen online...
