It took some time, nearly three years, but the scumbags have been tried and found guilty. These asshats are the reason we now have to put all our toiletries into little plastic bags for screening at airports across the globe. And we can no longer bring aboard our own beverages, which means we either have to chug before we pass through airport security, or pay 3 dollars for a liter of water. Thanks, religion of peace!
‘Liquid bomb’ terror plot that changed air travel for ever: How gang of fanatics planned Britain’s 9/11
Plot was on a bigger scale than September 11 Two of the guilty men filmed suicide ‘martyrdom’ videos £35million investigation was UK’s biggest ever Gang’s arrest led to liquid clampdown on flights It was the terror plot which changed the nature of airline travel for ever.
Three British-born Islamic fanatics planned to use liquid explosives disguised as soft drinks to blow at least seven flights out of the sky and cause carnage to rival 9/11 in the U.S.
A second phase of the plan included attacks on Canary Wharf skyscrapers, the Greenwich foot tunnel underneath the Thames, nuclear power stations, oil refineries and gas terminals.
The discovery of the plot in 2006 brought chaos to international airports as sweeping restrictions were imposed overnight on how much liquid can be taken on to a plane.
The plot was directed from Pakistan by the Al Qaeda mastermind behind the July 7 suicide bombings in London.
The UK cell was led by 28-year-old Ahmed Abdulla Ali, from East London, who was inspired by Osama Bin Laden and even considered taking his baby son on his suicide mission.
Details of what was called ‘the most serious allegation ever made in a British court’ included:
- At least seven flights from London to the U.S. and Canada were targets;
- All were to be blown up inside two-and-a-half hours;
- Further attacks were planned on Canary Wharf, a tunnel under the Thames, a gas terminal and power stations;
- Suicide videos made by the plotters warned the British public to expect ‘floods of martyr operations’ that would leave body parts scattered in the streets.
The cost of the police and security service investigation, the largest ever in the UK, was £35million.
Two trials – the first jury was unable to agree on charges of conspiracy to bomb planes – added an estimated £100million.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said: ‘This would have led to murder and mayhem on an unimaginable scale. It reaffirms that we face a real and serious threat from terrorism.’

At least HS Alan Johnson called it what it was – Terrorism – recognizing an all too real threat to the UK. Yet the multiculturalists still insist on bending over for islam at every turn.
