More tidbits of info on the bombing plot.
To: John Lenin
"Abu Hamza fanatics are urging fresh suicide attacks on passenger jets, using mini-bombs in pens and disposable cameras. The call is aired on an website run by supporters of the jailed hook-handed cleric. It recommends the use of a high-powered explosive dubbed Mother of Satan, which is of the same type used by the July 7 bombers.
Isn't it time for ol' Cap'n Hook to have a convenient mass coronary?(hint hint)

If they can just nuke that entire region in Waristan or whatever it is called, most of his crap will go away.

My thanks John. I stayed up til 4am with this and been busy today and you have capsuled it up to date very well. Imagine the rest of the plotters are scurrying now like the cowardly rats they are.

It's a great site I stumbled onto in the last week.

Why are they called suicide bombers? Did they buy all the available seats on the planes? They are freakin' homicidal lunatics. Sure wish the MSM would call it like it is.

There are a lot of different source weblinks in this thread and the gist of the plot and details.
No media "bias" thread here, just the "facts".
Thought some might be interested in a good "one-stop shop" (even if it is multi-sourced).

...plotters hoped to stage a dry run...
...explosives designed into beverages and other liquids, electronics, and other common objects, with possibility of bringing benign components onboard and then assembling them...
This makes me think of that Annie Jacobsen Terror in the Skies piece... and all the related incidents that her story brought up.

Who woulda thunk guys with names like Rashid Rauf, Mohammed al-Ghandra, and Ahmed al Khan would be involved in a plot like this. It sounds like profiling to me.

They would have needed to use 80-90% peroxide. And handling it is far from easy. More specifically, if the container with it were subjected to intense ultrasound, peroxide would start rapidly decomposing with the release of superheated steam. Thus sonicators could be added to the luggage screening machines lineup.

I just did a little research and found out that she did a whole book about her experiences called Terror in the Skies: Why 9-11 Could Happen Again. And the Women's Wall Street Journal continues to run a Terror in the Skies series.

"(A)n Islamic militant arrested near the Afghan-Pakistan border several weeks ago provided a lead that played a role in "unearthing the plot," that helped authorities arrest suspects in Britain." I sure hope they didn't make him feel uncomfortable in any way.
