Looks like another try and its coming from Young British Asian Men!!!
This is a disgrace coming from the UK of all places.
6 planes were going to be involved from UK to America and were going to be blown up in midflight to make alot of destruction.
The bombs would have been of liquid form.
You would have been talking alot of deaths and injuries.
Thank goodness for our police force and Scotland Yard.
They arrested around 20 people so far but still looking for 2 more.
All flights have been cancelled to and from UK Airports.
Check out the latest on the TV.

Moonboots, as far as I can see there is no mention of British Muslins in the reports I have watched or read, so maybe you are jumping the gun a bit early, you are probably correct, but no need to start blaming Muslims just yet.Originally Posted by Moonboots

Once the original Grumpy Owld Man but alas no more
Sorry but I am going by what ITV News said earlier. Maybe it isnt and maybe it is but Im only repeating to what i heard...
Just now Sky has said it to have been of Young British Muslims.
They also said this is just the beginning. Police also knew about this for some time and only acted last night after something came up.

What I do know is that they arrested them in London, Thames Valley and Birmingham. Most were arrested in London though.

I am disgusted by this. Can you imagine the amount of people that would've been effected if 10 flights from the UK to the US had been blown out of the sky?! To think the terrorists were born in this Country!! I don't know what the answer but I can think of a few things....................................
Whatever the final report we mustn't lose sight that these are extremists. What is really sad is that those involved at the front end are idiots who have been influenced by people who are still free. There are extremists in all social groups - we have our own who join organisations like BNP.
I feel most sorry for those Muslims and others who will be affected by this - there may even be a severe lash-back by our own extremists. However, I do think that the British public is too complacent about extremism in this country, turning a bliind eye within each community until the issue becomes a major problem. Much better if all cultures openly report their suspicions to the authorities. If nothing is found there is no harm done, and the message is out that society will no longer stand for any nonsense.

Only difference is the BNP do not try to bomb planes....
So true, thank goodness.Originally Posted by MadPict
