Soldier Spy is to the war against the enemy at home what Bravo Two Zero was to Gulf War 1. In the boot were six homemade pipe bombs, all linked to detonate at the same time from a single call on a brand-new pay-as-you-go phone found on the target.Special Branch also found Chinese Type 56 assault rifles with eight full magazines full of ammunition. His target was a local school. He planned to attack two coaches of teenagers returning home after a school trip to Frances. Approximately sixty children, their accompanying teachers and their waiting parents.He was going to kill them all.
