Terror alert: Two men on 'no-fly' list stopped at Heathrow ( Heading for the USA )
Mirror (UK) ^ | 24/01/2010 | Vincent Moss

Two men were stopped boarding US-bound planes at Heathrow days before Britain's terror threat was raised to "severe".

News of the incidents came hours after Home Secretary Alan Johnson lifted the threat level amid fears that al-Qaeda is planning an attack.

The new level, which means an attack is reckoned "highly likely", is second only to "critical".

Security sources say an Egyptian was stopped last Saturday as he tried to board an American Airlines flight to Miami. A man from Saudi Arabia was banned from boarding a United Airlines flight to Chicago the next day and sent back to Saudi.

The incidents and the raised threat level follow the failed Christmas Day bombing on a plane over Detroit.

Anti-terror officials said the past week had seen an "unusually high" number of people on their no-fly list trying to board US-bound planes.

It looks like the bad guys are flooding the system in hopes, at least, one of them gets thru. Scary.

I thought Holder demanded all passengers on the “No Fly” list be given box lunches with extra Oreos.

Too much of a coincidence.

If Bin Laddie says we’re at war so be it, start killing 300-400 million muzzies, fertilize the planet with them, GO GREEN!!! Just what do you think they plan for us?? We have paid for plenty of weapons to do the job, so use em. It seems the fed/guv wants a few million taxpayers to get killed at the hands of muzzies.

Am I the only one who gets the feeling an attack is imminent?

They’re flooding air security with the easy ones to spot so the Brit, Frenchie, Dutch or German terror guy/gal gets through.

“The Washington-based IntelCenter, which monitors terror group communications, said the message was a possible indicator of an attack within the next 12 months.”
