Six men jailed over plot to bomb English Defence League rally

Six men from the West Midlands have been jailed for up to 19-and-a-half years each for planning to bomb an English Defence League rally.

Five of them had taken a bomb, knives and sawn-off shotguns to last June's rally in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

But the plotters arrived two hours after the EDL event had ended.

They were caught by chance after a car being used by two of them was stopped by police.
