from that article I posted above:

British authorities have been tracking the plot for months, and the arrests were made "when they learned several of the men had booked flights to the U.S. in the next several days, for apparent trial runs." The plot is walked back to Karachi, Pakistan. ABC News: Three alleged ringleaders have been identified; two recently traveled to Pakistan and later received money wired to them from Pakistan, reportedly to purchase tickets for the suicide bombers. Sources identify the three, now in custody, as Rashid Rauf, Mohammed al-Ghandra, and Ahmed al Khan.

Check this out!!!! Especially the last paragraph

Dan Malloy's gubernatorial campaign called Tuesday morning for all of New Haven's voting machines to be inspected after a voter discovered Malloy's name missing from a New Haven voting machine.

The incident took place within the first hour of voting at the Ellsworth Avenue fire station, in Ward 24. A Malloy voter noticed that Malloy's name wasn't on the ballot. He informed people at the polls, including a Malloy volunteer named Al London, who contacted the campaign. Malloy is running for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination against John DeStefano, who's the mayor of New Haven.

New Haven's registrar of voters, Sharon Ferrucci, said during an interview in her office Tuesday morning that the incident was an honest mistake.

The Malloy campaign "called the whole world" about the incident and left the poll station's moderator "hysterical," Ferrucci complained. She defended her moderators are honest, hard-working, civic-minded, "wonderful people" who train for the job; many are Republicans, she said.

Moderators are supposed to check the voting machines against sample ballots before the polls open at 6 a.m. The moderator at Ellsworth Avenue forgot to do that, according to Ferrucci. So she didn't notice that Line A on the ballot -- which lists Malloy as well as U.S. Senate candidate Joseph Lieberman, the endorsed candidates -- was missing. Only Line B appeared, with the names of DeStefano and Senate candidate Ned Lamont.
