August 10, 2006 - 1:43

LONDON (AP) - Police in London say they've thwarted a major terrorist plot to blow up commercial aircraft likely flying between the United Kingdom and the United States, a statement form Scotland Yard said Thursday.

Arrests were made overnight in London by the Metropolitan Police Department's anti-terrorist branch and security service, CNN International reported.

CNN International reported security has been increased at airports across the U.K.

"Today's arrests are the culmination of a major covert counter-terrorist operation lasting several months," Scotland Yard said.
