“PM defiant over ‘al-Qaeda threat’”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Britain will not yield despite a sustained threat from people associated with al-Qaeda, Gordon Brown has said after three terror attacks in the UK.

The prime minister was speaking after a burning car driven into Glasgow Airport on Saturday was linked to two car bombs found in London’s West End on Friday.

Five people have been arrested over the attacks - two at the airport, two later in Cheshire and a fifth in Liverpool.

Houses in Staffordshire, Liverpool and near Glasgow are also being searched.

Critical condition

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said the British public would not be “intimidated or let anyone stop us getting on with our lives”.

Speaking after the government’s emergency response unit, Cobra, held its fourth meeting in three days, she said a formal statement will be made in the Commons on Monday.

One of the suspects held at Glasgow Airport suffered severe burns and was taken to Royal Alexandra Hospital, in Paisley, where he is said to be in a critical condition.

A controlled explosion was later carried out at the hospital on a car, thought to be connected to the attack on Glasgow Airport, police said.

Scotland Yard said two people arrested on the M6 in Cheshire overnight - a 26-year-old man and 27-year-old woman - have been brought to London for questioning.

A spokesperson said Merseyside Police had arrested a 36-year-old man and were searching two addresses in the Liverpool area.

Staffordshire Police said its officers were involved in searches of addresses in Newcastle-under-Lyme with the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit and Met personnel.”

I think if we don’t see another attempt in the next 48 hours this little run may be done. After the first two did not go off, I strongly suspected we would see more attempts—maybe to prove that they could indeed do what they wanted ti do. Now that we have a third “failure” I would expect those who don’t get arrested to go into hiding for some time to regroup and figure out what went wrong. Unfortunately, there are many other plots going on concurrently.
