Does this mean it was more of a world-wide plot than the Britain to America flights?

I didn't think that this would be isolated to the UK. I don't think that we've been given the whole story about the United States cells either.
Why else would Romney/Schwartzenegger use the National Guard to protect OUR airports?

This was going to be Al-Qaeda's biggest show yet.
Dozens upon dozens of planes, it appears.
Right. Find those remaining Egyptians.
To: standingfirm
I thought they arrested 20ish of the 50 suspects yesterday, why would 40 more be arrested in Italy? Is this a much bigger plot than reported so far?!

Well, the known travel strike group of 30-50 had to have a support group. I remember reading the estimates of 100-150 involved. And the thing might be broader than has been so far announced.

"Let muzzies ride camels to where they need to get too."
Bad idea. Have you any idea how much explosives one can conceal in a camel's hump?

England, Pakistan, and now Italy. Next Canada? Reading a list of the names of the perps arrested to this point looks a lot like the Toronto telephone directory.

That's a lot. One wonders if Mr. Ahneedajihad's plans for 22 August have been somewhat affected....
Note, btw, that the Turks recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders on 23 August, 1244.... One also, therefore, wonders if these planned bombings were supposed to be a diversion from something planned for 23 August.
