Speaking of people who just want to kill Infidels...


'Mass Murder' Plot Foiled

Police say a plot to cause "mass murder on an unimaginable scale" has been disrupted, causing chaos at airports across the UK.

They say terrorists planned to smuggle explosives aboard at least six airliners as hand luggage - which could have been missed during x-ray screening.

The planes would then have been blown up in flight. Five US cities are thought to have been among the targets, including New York, Washington and Los Angeles.

Security agents believe the plot would have been carried out within two or three days had it not been uncovered.

Speaking at Scotland Yard, Deputy Commissioner Paul Stephenson said the plot would have caused "mass murder on an unimaginable scale".

Twenty-one people have been arrested in London, Birmingham and the Thames Valley, the culmination of a covert counter-terrorist operation lasting several months.

Home Secretary John Reid said the "main players" are in custody but he cautioned against complacency.

"We are involved in a long, wide and deep struggle against very evil people," he said.
