Terror plot in Britain is foiled

UK foils aircraft terror plot

Terrorists sure got balls... I'm curious how they expected to get the explosives on the planes? Last time I flew, I was given a hard time because I had nose hair trimmers in my carry-on.

Terrorists are getting sloppy, or this was one really big diversion...

My boy AYHJA wins the prize.

this is nothing,.. a pat on the back.

I feel that what happened is the british muslim (would be) terrorists contacted some people and were put on this "mission" unofficially. They were told this was because contact with the "cell" would expose them. They worked being monitored, but not to their knowledge.

They were a diversion. I FEEL that in my bones.

Yea, I feel that this is a diversion also. I don't have a good feeling about this...

Then I'd buy them so new tickets to go finish their mission...lol. As much as I hate the Red Sox, I wouldn't wish that upon them

Yikes... CNN's Breaking News headline reads: London police confirm 24 terror plot suspects now in custody.

Agent infiltrated terror cell, U.S. says

"A senior congressional source said it is believed the plotters planned to mix a British sports drink with a gel-like substance to make a potent explosive that could be ignited with an MP3 player or cell phone.

The sports drink could be combined with a peroxide-based paste to form a potent "explosive cocktail," if properly done, said a U.S. counterterrorism official."

They're definitely getting creative... :?

I don't know... This seems too large to be a diversion to me...
