LONDON (Reuters) - Eleven people have been charged in connection with a suspected plot to blow up several airliners in mid-Atlantic, Crown Prosecution Service said on Monday.

Eight were charged with conspiracy to murder and three with other offences, prosecutor Susan Hemming said. One woman was released and another 11 people are still being held pending a decision whether to charge them, she said.

Thanks indeed. Much better source and more like the Police announcement. Interesting that they were willing to share so much information with the public on this.

All the terrorists were just that 'terrorists" I don't remember Muslim or Islam being mentioned (as in Christian Militia),

NBC whined last night that the US had somehow "hurried" the UK arrests so charges might not stick.
Is there nothing the MSM can't twist into an anti American slur ?

I thought that there was more than a hint of PR about the announcement. It was as if they were making it very clear they had evidence in abundance.

As for the hate America brigade - i think I'd take up the Milwall chant. "Nobody loves us - we don't care!" Frankly the MSM and liberal-luvvey-lefties just want to bite the hand that protects them.

I understand the UK authorities have "martyr" recordings by several of the arrested Muzzies. Also a suitcase full of bomb making materials. Doesn't sound like anything was rushed. It does sound like we were just in time to save thousands of lives.

I wonder if the "one woman" released was the mother who took her baby with her along with bomb making materials in its formula.

Anna Diggs Taylor wants them all released, because they were caught with illegal NSA "chatter" monitoring.
