U.S. intelligence: Disinformation caused London flights scare
U.S. intelligence officials say disinformation was behind recent warnings that Al Qaida was planning to hijack airliners from London to the United States.
British Airways, Continental and Air France canceled several flights from Britain, France and Scotland to the United States last weekend due to security worries.
Intelligence reports indicated that Al Qaida terrorists were planning to set off chemical, biological or radiological weapons during the flights.
However, intelligence officials now have concluded that Heathrow airport was the origin was disinformation. "Heathrow is one of the most secure airports in the world," one official said. "Al Qaida would not be able [to target] a flight originating there, except under the most difficult security conditions."

I remember some were speculating that this may have been disinfo by AQ to see how we would react and to take our attention away from other things they may be doing.
Just looked. I don't know what to make of it yet. I really don't put it past them to give themselves a black eye to look innocent.
But, I could be wrong.
