They are most likely using inside information to get the bombs in in the first place.

It always amazes me that articles like this see that public interest is balanced better by reporting (free speech) rather than not reporting (security).
Its like seeing someones car is unlocked in a carpark and announcing it over the shopping mall tannoy. It may alert them as to the risk, but also increases the risk dramatically.
