I congratulate HM's security for foiling this plot. Given the conditions in Heathrow, I'm amazed those folks can find so much as a pocketknife.

"Apparently, this plot was huge and months in the making."

Sky News as per FNC said that it had been a joint operation between law enforcement and intelligence over several months.

Not a thing I know anything at all about. Sorry!

I'm just posting what I'm hearing on Sky News. FNC is playing it.

Not enjoyable. There are still people who don't realize that we are in a war to save Western Civilization.

Most caught were British born but Pakistani origin

This is what PISSES me OFF! I know of at least two cases here in the US where they come over here, marry some undesirable female, breed and then they have an offspring who is a US citizen.

British police thwart major terrorist plot to blow up commercial aircraft
August 10, 2006 - 1:43

LONDON (AP) - Police in London say they've thwarted a major terrorist plot to blow up commercial aircraft likely flying between the United Kingdom and the United States, a statement form Scotland Yard said Thursday.

Arrests were made overnight in London by the Metropolitan Police Department's anti-terrorist branch and security service, CNN International reported.

CNN International reported security has been increased at airports across the U.K.

"Today's arrests are the culmination of a major covert counter-terrorist operation lasting several months," Scotland Yard said.

Two hours in the air with NOTHING to do but read "Sky Mall".

Dearest and I flew British Airways in June, and found the service to be amazing...except that our 747 had a bad vid system with only three channels.

"Sky Mall" does indeed suck.
