Law Enforcement Tactics
• The FBI utilized a set of new anti-terrorism tools that became available in the War on Terror including improved surveillance, interrogation of enemy combatants and a free flow of information between criminal investigators and intelligence officers
• The prosecution never accused any of the six of planning an attack on U.S. soil. The case instead focused on their intention to plan a future attack. They argued that the group was waiting for direction from al-Qaeda leaders
• Surveillance led to the capture of the cell before the “big meal” could be accomplished. In the past, “wedding” was a code-word for attack, so authorities became alarmed when a word similar to any sort of code was used
Off Topic (I believe) from the original post, but still on the topic of weddings:

We have also seen the publication of a couple of unusual videos featuring Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, one with him delivering a funeral sermon in front of a crowd of several hundred people, and another showing him at a large wedding alongside half the jihadi community in Zarqa.
