Chopping watermelons in simulated beheadings

More from the trial of Osama Bin London and his Paintball Bombers:

Terror trial exposes network of terror camps in bucolic England. And reveals the extent of people's cluelessness. It really is shocking to realize that people would see this kind of activity in this day and age and not become alarmed and drop a dime about it ...

Security officials believe hundreds of men — including a gang that made a failed attempt to bomb London's transit network — passed through camps across the English countryside.

Clad in mud-smeared combat fatigues, the young Muslim men trained in picturesque British farmland, hurling imaginary grenades, wielding sticks as mock rifles and chopping watermelons in simulated beheadings.

Here's where the idiots come in:

Ahmed told his trial that scores of tourists saw a training camp in Cumbria, northern England, in 2004. "They were kind of shocked at the big beards, but we spoke to them just to break the ice," he said.

Farmer Bruce Rowland, who rented a field to the men, told police he originally jokingly called the group "my Taliban" — before becoming concerned. At a paintballing center north of London, a female member of staff told officers how customers had laughed at the men.
