2. slightly different quote in the Guardian...
Police will today question a "weak and vulnerable" Islamic convert suspected of attempting to explode a homemade bomb in a restaurant in Exeter.

snip

Toby Melville, the deputy chief constable of Devon and Cornwall police, said:

"We believe, despite his weak and vulnerable state, he was preyed upon, radicalised and taken advantage of."

I'm just glad the bombing attempt failed.

And disgusted at those who'd take advantage of a mentally ill man for this murderous purpose.
