Questions SWIRL over foiled UK terror plot: ‘BAFFLING’

WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED A. SERIOUS SITUATION AND INVOLVES. HANDS OF A FOREIGN ACTOR. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DISTURBED. BIT NEWS THAT SOME OF THESE. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RELEASED ON. BAIL, PEOPLE ARE BEING. INVESTIGATED. IT TIES US TO THE REALITY HERE. THAT IS WE'RE DEALING WITH. ELEMENTS IN THE WORLD, AND IN. THE CASE OF IRAN, FREAK, WHO. HAVE OPENLY THREATENED TO ATTACK.

AMERICAN GLOBALLY. THERE WILL BE REP REPERCUSSIONS. FOR THAT. WHARCHG IF OUR ALLIES DON'T THIS. MORNING FIVE BACK ON THE STREETS. FREED ON BAIL AFTER ARRESTED. NEAR AN AIR BASE USED TO STRIKE. IRAN NOW A FORMER WHO ALERTED. COPS ABOUT SUSPICIOUS VANS. SOUNDING THE ALARM. >> A PUT A MESSAGE TO OUR. VILLAGE, THE STRANGE THING IS. THERE WAS NO KIND OF FOLLOW-UP. SO THE POLICE DIDN'T RING ME.

AND NOBODY TOLD ANYONE IN THE. VILLAGE WHAT WAS GOING ON APART. FROM ME SO IT WASN'T UNTIL 5:00, 6:00 IN THE MORNING WHEN THEY. DECIDED TO EVACUATE PEOPLE. BUT MEANWHILE VANS ARE RIGHT IN. THE VILLAGE NEXT TO EVERYONE'S. HOUSES AND NO ONE DID ANYTHING. >> Brian: WHAT'S GOING ON? U.K. AND EDITOR AT LARGE LOCATED. NOW IN D.C. HARRY COLE JOINS ME.

THEY GET THE FIVE GUYS THEY. ARREST THEM BUT THEN THEY. RELEASE THEM ON BAIL AND YOU. HEARD THE BEFONDLED FARMER AND. DOESN'T CARE. WHAT'S GOING ON? >> A STORY THAT PLAYED THE IN. REAL TIME BUT IN SHADES OF GRAY. ESSENTIALLY. NOW, IT IS VERY CONVICT. CONTRADICTORY MESSAGES THERE. LAST NIGHT ON HANNITY SAYING. FOREIGN ACTOR IS INVOLVED IN.

THIS. IT GOES BACK TO WHAT THE. PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. SAID HE WOULDN'T HAVE LET THESE. GUYS GO AND WATCHING THEM FOR A. WHILE SOMETHING SERIOUS WAS GONG. ON HE KNOWS MORE THAN HE CAN. TELL YOU HE KNOWS MORE THAN HE'S. WILLING TO SHARE THEN YOU HAVE. WHAT WE GET FROM THE UK. AUTHORITIES WHICH IS A SILENCE, ARREST ON TERROR AND EXPLOSIVE. CHARGES AND THEN RELEASING THEM. SO THERE'S GOT TWO THEORIES HERE. EITHER THESE GUYS WERE INNOCENT. BYSTANDERS CAUGHT UP IN. SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNAWARE.

THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON. BUT THESE GUYS AREN'T INVOLVED. IF THEY POSED A THREAT TO THE. PUBLIC, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE. POLICE WOULDN'T EVEN COUNT ON. RELEASING THEM. THEY HAVE POWERS TO HOLD THEM UP. TO 14 DAYS UNDER TERRORISM LAW. SO IT'S CLEAR THEY THINK THEY. IMPOSED NO THREAT. THE POLICE LET IT BE KNOWN THERE. WAS NO VIABLE EXPLOSIVES IN. THESE VANS AT THE TIME. OR ARE WE SEEING SOMETHING MUCH. BIGGER AND DARKER AT PLAY WHAT.

THE SEARKTS SECRETARY OF STATE. WAS SAYING WHAT WAS THE PLOT ARE. THEY PERHAPS IN A MUCH, MUCH, MUCH BIGGER MACHINE, AND PERHAPS. DID THE FARMER --. CATCH THEM IN THE ACT OF. SOMETHING MUCH EARLIER THAN. PERHAPS THE SECURITY SERVICES. WERE READY FOR? WE DON'T KNOW BUT IT REMAINS. UTTERLY BAFFLING. >> Brian: HARRY IF IT WAS A. MISTAKEN IDENTITY COULD HAVE. BEEN FUEL THIEVES.

MISIDENTIFIED WE TALKED TO THEM. WE DON'T THINK THEY'RE AT RISK. BUT IT GAVE THEM BAIL. OUT ON BAIL WHICH SHOWS THERE'S. SOME TYPE OF ISSUE GOING ON I. DON'T KNOW IF IT IS TRESPASSING. THIS IS DAYS AFTER A ED, A. SECRETARY WITH IRAN TOP DIPLOMAT. WHILE WE'RE AT WAR WITH THEM. TALKING ABOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS. AND WHAT HAVE YOU AND THE. CLOSURE OF THE STRAIT AND THE. WORLD ENERGY CRISIS.

HE'S SHAKING HANDS WITH HIM AND. NOW YOU HAVE GOVERNMENT. OFFICIALS LETTING FIVE WOULD BE. IRANIAN TERRORISTS GO. >> AS THE BRITISH POLICE HAVE. SAID YESTERDAY THAT KEEPING AN. OPEN MOONED TO EVERY POSSIBLE. GEOPOLITICAL ANGLE. THEY WOULDN'T BE SAYING THAT IF. THEY DIDN'T HAVE SOMETHING ON. THEIR DESKS WHICH POINTS PERHAPS. TO IRAN. AND FRANKLY, IRAN HAS THREATENED. PUBLICLY TO TARGET THESE BASES. AND HERE AS YOU SAY SECRETARY.

THERE PLAYING SHAKING HAND MAN. AT THE U.N. IT'S AN. EXTRAORDINARY CONVICTION WITH. PEEL DIRECTLY THREATENING. WESTER.
