A major terrorist plot to blow up planes in mid-flight has been disrupted by police, Scotland Yard says.
It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled on board aircraft in hand luggage.
During the night, police arrested a number of people in London after a counter-terrorist operation they said had lasted several months.
Police believe the attacks would have been particularly targeted at flights from the UK to the US.
The Department for Transport said security at all UK airports has been increased.
Passengers on all flights will not be allowed to take any hand luggage on to any flights in the UK.
Only the barest essentials - including passports and wallets - will be allowed to be carried on board in transparent plastic bags.

MARIETTA, Ohio - Two men were charged Wednesday with money laundering in support of terrorism after authorities said they found airplane passenger lists and information on airport security checkpoints in their car.
Deputies stopped Osama Sabhi Abulhassan, 20, and Ali Houssaiky, 20, both of Dearborn, Mich., on a traffic violation Tuesday.

MARIETTA, Ohio - Investigators in southeast Ohio said they were working to unravel how two Michigan men charged with supporting terrorism came to have airplane passenger lists and airport security information.
Osama Sabhi Abulhassan, 20, and Ali Houssaiky, 20, both of the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, were being held at the Washington County jail on $200,000 bond each, which could be raised at a Thursday afternoon court hearing. Each was charged Wednesday with money laundering in support of terrorism.....

Did you hear the them say that they have been tracking them through their financiers?
SOB, thank God they don't have loose lips in the UK on state secrets. Wonder what we missed because of the NYT's story.

I imagine this will change things for a long time in terms of carryon items and luggage. New security will be in place all across the free world. Mark this day...

Has anybody speculated yet that the liquid explosive was not to blow up the plane, but to blow open the cockpit door so they could take control?

"Poland's Warsaw's airport being evacuated."
Where did you hear that?
I think when making comments about things such as this we need to post the source so that we don't start spreading rumors.

The significance is that on that date 8/22 Mohammad rode a winged horse to Jerusalem then went up into Heaven and returned.
Some winged horse, huh????
