Rebel,

I'm worried about this nut and his "so-called religion" in a big way. The events of tonight haven't comforted me in any way, shape or form.

Abby Dinnerjackoff - LOL!

Achmed-dinner offted himself is how I pronounce it.

Wonder if those 8 missing students are involved in this in any way?

Multiple attacks via multiple methods on multiple classes of targets would not be a good thing.

British police say foil plot to bomb aircraft

By Reuters. Thursday August 10, 2006. 07.11am

British police said on Thursday they have thwarted a plot to blow up aircraft in mid-flight between Britain and the United States, arresting a number of people in the London area.

Britain’s security service MI5 raised the threat level to the country to “critical” from “severe”, meaning an attack is expected imminently.

News of the arrests and heightened security threat came amid high international tension over Israel’s war against Hizbollah in Lebanon.

Police said the aim of the plot was to detonate bombs smuggled on board aircraft in hand luggage.

“A major terrorist plot to allegedly blow up aircraft in mid-flight has been disrupted in a joint, pre-planned, intelligence-led operation by the Metropolitan Police anti-terrorist branch and security services,” a London police spokesman said.

He said police believed the intention was particularly to target flights from Britain to the United States.

The BBC said about 18 people were arrested.

The police spokesman could not confirm the figure, saying only that an unspecified number of people had been detained in London during the night. The operation was the culmination of a major covert counter-terrorist operation lasting several months, he added.

Following the arrests, security at all British airports was increased and additional security measures put in place for all flights.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has come under strong criticism at home and abroad for following the U.S. lead and refusing to call for an immediate ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Lebanese Hizbollah guerrillas.

The security alert comes 13 months after four Islamist suicide bombers killed 52 people on London’s transport network on July 7 last year.

The Home Office Web Site showed the threat rating had been raised to “critical” from “severe” earlier on Thursday. Britain has a five level rating for security threats, ranging from low to critical, which is the highest level.

Fox just corrected themselves on that.

Fox is saying orange for aviation, red for inbound UK flights, yellow everywhere else.

We are dealing with suicidal idiots though...

Of that you'll get no argument from me. If I was Blair I'd be dusting off any plans they have for emergency mass arrests and deportations of their jihadists.

I've got an alert level graphic on my personal WWW site from this site. The moment DHS changes the alert level, it changes, because it's grabbing it directly from DHS using XML.

Looks like Reuters threw in the dig about US UK support for Israel at the end of story. Reuters is not even hiding their bias.

Nerve Agent? Why bother boarding a flight? All they have to is expose it at the airport, look at the crowded terminals.

I agree with that train of thought. 24/7 seems to really mean 7 minutes of news repeated 24 hours a day. Either FOX or CNN need to be on live with real "breaking news" during these critical times of our lives. IMHO.
