Articles (a/an/the) are supposed to be omitted from news headlines, so nothing to fix here. You can check the rules for writing headlines here have a great day!

I think you misunderstood the comment heheh.

The added 'a' implies that there are many plots to sneak arms onto the island. They just happened to foil this one.

Oh yeah, you got me there. Didn’t consider that you were implying that. Whoops! My bad. I’ll leave the above comment though in case others find it useful somehow. Thanks!
