'Airlines terror plot' disrupted

'Airlines terror plot' disrupted

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4778575.stm

A plot to blow up planes in flight from the UK to the US and commit "mass murder on an unimaginable scale" has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said.

It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled in hand luggage on to as many as 10 aircraft.

Police were searching premises with 21 people in custody after arrests in the London area and West Midlands.

High security is causing delays at all UK airports. The threat level to the UK has been raised by MI5 to critical.

According to MI5's website, critical threat level - the highest - means "an attack is expected imminently and indicates an extremely high level of threat to the UK".

Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Paul Stephenson said the alleged plotters had intended "mass murder on an unimaginable scale".

"We are confident that we have disrupted a plan by terrorists to cause untold death and destruction and to commit, quite frankly, mass murder," he said.

"We believe that the terrorists' aim was to smuggle explosives on to aeroplanes in hand luggage and to detonate these in flight. We also believe that the intended targets were flights from the United Kingdom to the United States of America.

"I can confirm that a significant number of people are currently in custody and the operation is ongoing."

The majority of the arrests were in London with some in the Thames Valley and Birmingham, he said.

Police had spoken to a "good number of community leaders to make them aware that a major operation was under way," he added.

According to BBC sources the "principal characters" suspected of being involved in the plot were British-born. Arrests were made in High Wycombe, London and Birmingham.

BBC home affairs correspondent Andy Tighe said police sources had told him they had found "interesting items" which were being examined.

In other major developments:

# The US Department of Homeland Security increased the threat level applied to US-bound commercial flights originating in the UK

# The Home Office confirmed there had been three meetings overnight and on Thursday morning of the Cabinet's emergency committee, Cobra, chaired by Home Secretary John Reid, to discuss the terror alert

# A spokesman for Number 10 said Tony Blair had briefed US President George Bush on the situation during the night

# All passengers were banned from taking hand luggage onto flights, while the government warned of delays.

BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford said he did not think the police believed an attack was imminent.

"The reason for raising the threat level is in case there is some other sub-plot, back-up plot around this that the police aren't aware of," he said.

BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera said given that most liquids were being banned from flights it suggested the suspected plot involved "some kind of liquid explosive".

He also said the plot had an "international dimension", while the investigation had involved the CIA.

"The Americans have definitely been involved for quite some time," he said.

Prime Minister Tony Blair is on holiday in the Caribbean, but Downing Street said the police operation was undertaken with his full support and he had been "in constant touch".

Transparent bags

The Department for Transport set out the details of the security measures at UK airports.

Passengers are not allowed to take any hand luggage on to any flights in the UK, the department said.

Only the barest essentials - including passports and wallets - will be allowed to be carried on board in transparent plastic bags.

"We hope that these measures, which are being kept under review by the government, will need to be in place for a limited period only," the statement said.

British Airways said that passengers who do not wish to fly on Thursday could rebook on flights leaving over the next two weeks.

At Stansted airport, more than 2,000 passengers, clutching their plastic bags, snaked around the terminal queuing to pass through customs

Just when Tony is in deep trouble. (Yesterday a member of his cabinet resigned over his failure to call for an immediate ceasefire in the middle east) How convenient.

If you piece together the news reports, it becomes clear just what may have been prevented.

Imagine 10 planes crashing down onto US and UK cities.. That plot, if it had worked, is at least of the same magnitude as 9/11, if not more so. It seems 9/11 inspired, yet is even more simplified, and again goes for high casualties, so I agree it sounds very much like an Al Qaida plot.

Yay MI5 :thumbup:
If the terrorist plot was already underway, then this could have been a black day for the world just like 9/11 was.

It sounds to me like the intention was to blow the planes up in the sky not to crash them into cities.

That's cool that they caught the bad guys.

It's a whole lot nicer to wake up and see "terror plot disrupted" rather than "terrorist plot kills thousands". I have to say that even though the tightened security may have stopped a tragedy, how much more freedom are we going to have to give up because of this?  :confused:


--------------------
The story goes, or the way that I was told
There was a king that always felt too high and then he fell too low
And so he called all the wise men to the hall
And begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls
But here’s the thing, they came back with a ring
It was simple and was plainly unbefitting of a king
Engraved in black, it had no front or back
But there were words around the band that said
Just know: This Too Shall Pass

yeah i was thinking about that at mcdonalds,

their stopping this changed those headlines from thousands killed, to plot disrupted.....


but you have to consider this. if all of these participants were busted, you know that the authorites knew it was comming, and knew what was going on.

They let these people walk into the airports with bombs, imo...

kind of a long way to let things go before busting it eh?

"in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption"

The question that everyone should be asking is: What is currently going on over in Lebanon right now? This story reeks of a diversion...

If the terrorists turn out to have a "lebanese connection" then you're entitled to a big cigar. We'll see if the spin will steer it into such a direction.

I heard three versions:

1..bombs on airport
2..blow up planes
3..blow up planes over cities

I subscribe to the last version because it makes the most sense, havingt the highest casualty ratio and being no more difficult than #2.

It is, but also: Lebanon was a diversion from Gaza. Gaza was a diversion from chaos in Iraq. Chaos in Iraq was a diversion to the corruption of the current US administration. On and on and on. The news is entertainment.

see, now this is the RIGHT way to create a political diversion. Nobody had to die, no buildings had to fall.
air travel gets interrupted, people are diverted from other issues.

they knew about the attack from its inception, they chose today (amidst big opposition to blairs labanon stance) to crack down on it.

great timing, letting the cell operate until it became politically useful

hmm, well I suppose if a new military campain was about to launch it might be nessisary to blow up a few major landmarks.

i just think perhaps 911 was overkill, and an ass-backwards way to justify invading iraq.

im not saying the gov CASUED 911, im saying they allowed the cell to operate untill it acted. they already knew full well it would occur, generally when, and specifically by whom.

just like this case, the difference? a political opportunity came up before the cell acted.

I'm leaving for the airport in about an hour.  It's probably the safest day to travel in the USA but I was alerted I can't pack anything liquid in my bags :lol:  Whatever, I've got liquid at my next stop anyways.
