PRAGUE, August 10, 2006 (RFE/RL) -- The British authorities are in no doubt -- after an operation lasting several months, the security services have foiled an imminent terrorist attack.
British Home Secretary John Reid said the security services had raised the threat level from "severe" to "critical," the highest possible level, which, according to the website of MI5, the British Security Service, means an attack is expected soon.
"The police, with the full knowledge of ministers, have carried out a major counterterrorism operation to disrupt what we believe to be a major threat to the United Kingdom and international partners," Reid said today.
London Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Paul Stephenson said the plan had been to commit mass murder.
"We cannot stress too highly the severity that this plot represented," Stephenson said. "Put simply, this was intended to be mass murder on an unimaginable scale."

I think any relative of anyone involved in this plot or any terrorist plot should be stripped of citizenship, if they are indeed citizens, and sent back to the country of their ancestral origin. That would include children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Execute terrorist plotters or put them in jail for life and just get rid of their relatives.
Also bear in mind that the highest priority in foriegn relations on April 1, 2001 was the downing of an EP-3 by the Chinese and the subsequent kidnapping of its crew.
Unless we all take drastic action we will all die . Im not an alarmist , I'm realistic. This is an all out war and our politicians (DEMS especially ) are playing politics and politically correct at the expense of my safty and life. STOP ALL MOSLEM IMMIGRATION.
Just watch. It will be Bush's fault because we are in Iraq. We should have buried our heads ... and tried to be NICE to these monsters.
WOW! You must have ESP or something.

You don't happen to know what the powerball numbers will be do you?
Rush and his staff wondering what big event would happen while he was out. This is it.
My son's flying home from London with his high school drama group on Monday. When we saw them off at SFO, I couldn't help but marvel at all those wide-eyed, fresh-faced, innocent kids (34 of them) about to embark on the adventure of their lifetime.
As a mom, you can't help but have a little knot of worry every time your kid leaves the house about the myriad of things that can turn your and their lives upside down in the blink of an eye. You do your best not to let it consume you since you know that, logically, 99.999% of the time, everything is going to be OK.
Most parents, grandparents, neighbors, teachers, community members strive to keep all our kids safe. It's incomprehensible that people are actively plotting to end the lives of innocents and will do so joyfully. Why? How does this improve the lives of their families/communities? How does this make things better?
You left out "you idiot" but other than that, I give your response a 9.5.
This is a twisted religious ideology that to murder "infidels" is the way to Paradise. It sounds incomprehensible to a rational person, but unfortunately, too many in the Muslim world espouse it--the number is large enough to wreck the havoc. That's why I'm for treating Islam (at least the version that espouses Jihad against Infidels) the same way that Conmmunism and Nazism was treated. Time to recognize the painful truth. Otherwise, we going to see more and more massive terror plots like this.
Ah, El Paso, I hate thee most....
What is the attraction of terrorists to airplanes? Are they hypnotized by shiny objects?
I agree. Let them call it a moratorium if they need to, but stop it cold right now.
The DU'ers and KOs Kiddes are saying that, and also that Bush created this as a diversion to take attention away from Lamont's win in Connecticut yesterday.
Theres a simple way to end all of this nonsense but it takes guts.
#1. Announce that the next terrorist attack will result in the destruction of Mecca.
#2. Announce the next attack after that will result in the destruction of Medina
#3. Announce that well keep going down the list of holy sites until there arent any left.
#4. Then DO IT!
so what exactly is bush doing to stop this sh*t?
(For what it's worth)
You can find this kind of thing right here.
There needs to be a grass roots movement to FORCE politicians to face the reality of this terror. The Dems do NOTHING , actually hinder efforts to protect us . The PEOPLE need to mobolize. This is real bad folks and the politicians do NOTHING . ALL IMMIGRATION FROM ISLAMIC COUNTRIES MUST BE STOPPED NOW !
And then...what?
Is there any connection between the UK arrests of airline terrorists and the 11 missing Egyptians who were supposed to go to school in Montana? Only three of the 11 have been captured, and I would like to know if the missing eight are connected to the airline threats in the UK? Anybody know?
