"Al-Qaeda's Heathrow jet plot revealed"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "AL-QAEDA terrorists planned to hijack a passenger jet from eastern Europe and fly it into a packed terminal at Heathrow airport, killing hundreds of people, security sources have revealed. The plot, which was taken so seriously that ministers considered shutting down the airport, helps to resolve the long-standing mystery of why Tony Blair ordered armoured vehicles and hundreds of troops to be sent to Heathrow in 2003.
It has now emerged that MI5 received detailed intelligence in February 2003 about a two-pronged plan to target Britain because of its decision to send troops in support of Americas invasion of Iraq.
The second element of the operation, inspired by Osama Bin Laden, involved a mortar attack on a departing passenger plane. It was organised by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the Al-Qaeda operations chief and mastermind of the September 11 attacks, the sources said."
ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "Last year The Sunday Times obtained transcripts of Mohammeds interrogation in the months after his capture in Pakistan in 2003. They show that the original plan for September 11 envisaged the hijacking of 10 planes, which were to be crashed into targets on the east and west coasts of America.
In the interrogation, Mohammed also referred to an unspecified plot against Heathrow designed to punish Blair, whom he said Bin Laden called his principal enemy."
He told his interrogators that Al-Qaeda operatives had been given money and told to begin surveillance of Heathrow, assessing its weak points and finding locations from which planes could be shot down."
Thank you for the alert on the Heathrow story.
I don't recall the details, but a year or more ago, a man was arrested in a navy uniform at least 2 times, for boarding the British Navy Ships and Bases.
He simply dressed up and went where he wanted to go.
I do not know if we ever heard his name.
Will we now hear of a threat to the Navy Yards, as we did Heathrow?
