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.

Probably someone in his traitorous party.

Dream on Rob. I am sure we will be getting a lecture all too soon about how it's just a few radicals we really don't have to worry.<p.
We are the New Media people who want the truth will soon start coming here first if they already are not.

Drink milk...Does the same thing and good for your bones.

That raises an interesting question. Why did the uncle of the student found in Minnesota, Eslam Ibrahim Mohammed El-Dessouki, call the FBI instead of their embassy? Signal?

Hamvi Kassab, (AKA HANDY A KASSAB, HAMDY A KASSAB), a Minneapolis grocer, told KSTP-TV that he is El-Dessouki's uncle and that agents arrested the man at Kassab's St. Louis Park home. Kassab said he called the FBI after learning about the search.

I found the alternative spellings of the uncles name, trying to find more info.

and may I add, two of them were found in NJ.

In the 911 attack, one of the flights came out of Newark.

And the Manila plot to destroy 12 US jumbo airliners in flight. And the Khobar Towers debacle. And the bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. And the bombing of the the US embassy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. And the conspiracy to blow up LAX Airport. And the plot to blow up the USS Sullivans in port at Aden, Yemen. And the bombing of the USS Cole . . . .

And 911 which was 5 years in the making.....

This plot was orginally scheduled to take place in Dec. 2003. The Jihadi poster EOM (aka Al Qaeda member Adam Gadahn) was boasting about this "rain" plot on various anonymous boards. Many Freepers were following this plot on the TM thread. Here's two archive posts from another board. EOM/Gadahn was the poster who bragged about 9/11 the night before it happened on the old MSNBC bbs:

you stupid Amerikkkans thousands of you shall perish with the coming "rain" Enjoy what time you have left, Allah will not be much longer before he delivers the next great victory for Islam

Yet these are the type of people England and this country keep importing. And if they are illegal aliens, then there are special perks for them. After "Black Hawk Down," for example, this country imported scores of Somalis.

[rodguy911]

Yeah for sure. Too bad it's not time to stop worrying about oil spills in the gulf and time to start drilling! Sometimes you wonder what it will take for the rats to concentrate on energy security.

[Quix]

I agree.

imho,

The NYTIMES should be sold and the proceeds given to all the victims of ISLAMIC TERROR who are USA citizens.

[Quix]

Perhaps they generate some heat.

But insufficient to destroy a plane, I think.

LOL.

[CougarGA7]

I always put things like my shampoo in my checked luggage in a ziplock incase it leaks. Wonder if they are going to confinscate my chapstick.

[Quix]

Nice to have a true leader in the White House.

NO LEAKS INDEED.

Yea.

[Quix]

Whatever idiot makes the decisionto put Clark on ought to be fired.

Clark should be ran out of civilized society naked, tarred and feathered and in abject shame.

[rodguy911]

blow them up somewhere

. Post of the day so far.Keep it simple

[mware]

Did you hear Greg on the President forcefully telling the intelligence heads that THERE WILL BE NO LEAKS.

This investigation has been going on for MONTHS

[Ron in Acreage]

It is now apparent that NO DEMOCRATS were briefed on this secret investigation and the surveillence tactics used to thwart these attacks.

[mware]

BTW, GALLOWAY, CAN SHUT THE HELL UP NOW.

[Quix]

Agreed. . . . but along with their puppet masters and the likes of their funders . . . George S comes to mind.

[BikerJoe]

I'll bet they'll let on reading materials. When I fly (and I try to do it as little as possible now), that usually includes the local paper, Wall Street Journal, National Review and American Spectator.

Of course, they'd probably confiscate the last two!
