London's Metro Cops need their head examined

(Seen on BoingBoing and Thomas Hawk at roughly the same time)

London's Metropolitan Police have a new "keep your eyes open" campaign.

Guess who the scapegoats are? Well, there's people with too many phones, your funny-looking neighbors... and photographers.

I'd like to make a challenge. So, going through Wikipedia and looking at the terrorist incidents in this decade in the UK, I came up with:

So far, we've got a lot of arrests on "specific information" that turned out to be nothing. We've got one person shot in the head and killed and a few other people shot in the process of being arrested. Most of the times where they rushed in ahead of time, there was some doubt as to if the plan would actually work... like the liquid bombings. (See Bruce Schneier's take on this)

My challenge is this: Can anybody actually provide any evidence that any terrorist groups have been caught simply because of their cameras or cellphones?
