"MI5 FOIL MISSILE BLITZ ON HOLS JET
Terrorist suspect is arrested near M25"
By Jeff Edwards Chief Crime Correspondent

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A SUSPECTED terrorist was arrested yesterday as he tried to buy a missile to shoot down an airliner.

The Asian-born man, 28, was also thought to be seeking explosives for a Christmas bomb blitz in London.

He was held at gunpoint by police and MI5 agents near the M25 in Hertfordshire. A source at Scotland Yard said: "We think he was buying the missile in a bid to bring down a trans-Atlantic airliner on landing or departure at a major British airport.

"We believe the man was also in negotiations to purchase a large quantity of explosives and guns in preparation for a bomb blitz and terrorist shootings in London.

"We believe the planned attacks were to be carried out by Islamic fundamentalists following the ideals of the al-Qaeda movement.""
