'Plot to blow up planes' foiled
2006-08-10
A major terrorist plot to blow up planes in mid-flight has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said. It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled on aircraft in hand luggage, with flights from the UK to the US being targeted. During the night, police arrested a number of people in London after a counter-terrorist operation they said had lasted several months. Security at all airports in the UK has been tightened and delays are expected.
Also all airports in the US. The media are now breathlessly reporting on super extra ginormous security line backups at BWI and Dulles. Speculation about this being "overkill" in 5... 4... 3... 2...
Somebody check Daily Kos. Betcha there's at least one post that reads roughly: "You have to question the timing of this, coming as it does on the heels of Lieberman's defeat in Connecticut..."
