TERRORISTS are plotting to blow up five European passenger jets in a Christmas "spectacular", security experts say.

The threat has been taken so seriously it came close to leading to an outright ban on all hand luggage, a senior insider has revealed.

Mobile phones and electronic devices could still be banned from plane cabins, with the threat of a 9/11-style coordinated attack on London and other major cities feared imminent.

The warning comes as Whitehall officials admit that a terror strike on the UK is now "almost inevitable" particularly with British jihadis returning from fighting alongside the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

An airport security source told the Sunday Express: "We've been told that five planes are being targeted in a high profile hit before Christmas. They've been waiting for the big one.

Home Secretary Theresa May warned that numerous Islamic militants were looking to attack the UK.

She said: "Now the threat is more diverse in terms of the number of groups out there who will be looking to carry out attacks in the West.

>"That should have happened back on September 12, 2001, following a formal declaration of war against terrorist religion of Islam."

Islam still hasn't retracted it's 1400 yr old declaration of war yet!

EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
I have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.

I remember during my first tour in Vietnam guys talking about killing North Vietnamese Army (NVA)soldiers in our area of operations. No one at MACV or the State Dept. wanted to acknowledge it and threaten the troops to keep it quiet. It was worse when we killed Chinese or Russian advisers the command really got pissed and didn't want to talk bout it. Things haven't changed much have they?

The saying goes “the more things change, the more they stay the same”, and it is quite true.
