I'm sure you've all heard the story by now. But I just wanted to acknowledge the efforts of every anti-terrorism agent who helped to avert this disaster.
May God bless them and those who fight for freedom everywhere.....:rock:
WASHINGTON – Ten flights were part of a plot to blow up planes heading to the U.S. from Britain, a U.S. counter-terrorism official said. The terrorists were on planning a dry run of the attack within the next days, the source said.
As many as 24 people were arrested in connection with the investigation.
According to investigators, the would-be terrorists planned to smuggle explosives on board the planes in hand luggage. The plan was to bring disassembled bomb components aboard and put them together during the flight. Fort Worth-based American Airlines, Houston-based Continental Airlines and United Airlines were the apparent targets.
