That's good. Hopefully they won't let them go next week.

Authorities warn of women wearing gel bras

Snip: U.S. authorities are advising women not to wear gel bras on airplanes as information developed in the foiled London plot points to an expanding role for women in smuggling explosives on to an aircraft.

Radioactive injection causes Vancouver man to trip border alarm

Snip: A man who had been injected with radioactive material for a medical procedure triggered alarms at the Peace Arch border crossing, authorities said.

Stanley Smith of Surrey, a World War II veteran, said he was heading for a casino in Ferndale, Wash., about 100 miles north of Seattle, last Friday when he found himself suddenly surrounded by heavily armed U.S. border personnel who accused him of potentially trying to make a bomb.

Prescott lets slip that some suspects won't face serious charges

John Prescott let slip yesterday that some of the 24 people arrested last week over the alleged transatlantic terror plot will not face serious charges.

The Deputy Prime Minister made the admission during talks with Labour's Muslim MPs on how best to tackle Islamic extremism. During the 90-minute meeting, Mr Prescott briefed the MPs that the police only had enough evidence to bring serious charges against some suspects but not others.

His comments are likely to infuriate officers involved in the huge investigation into the alleged plans to detonate bombs on flights. They came as the police made a further arrest in the Thames Valley area under the Terrorism Act 2000. Concern had already been voiced about Government interference after the Treasury last week published the names of 19 suspects whose assets had been frozen after the arrests.
