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.
