US confirms Heathrow hijack plot

[dreamer]

An official US report has confirmed al-Qaeda planned to hijack flights from Heathrow and fly planes into the airport and a Canary Wharf skyscraper. Reports of such a plot had surfaced in the media before but have not previously been confirmed. It is believed the plot was disrupted by security services, although arrests are not thought to have been made. The report lists nine attempts by al-Qaeda - aside from 11 September - to attack aviation targets worldwide.

The fact it was in 2003 is very telling, after 9/11, perhaps its a moment of "that worked well lets do that". There has been a shift in style and purpose of bombing, I doubt that an attack from the air is high on the list of possible methods, especially after 7/7.

A "particular tactic" huh? Anybody know what they're talking about?

Nah, it's a plot by George Bush and the CIA, to divert suspicion from 9/11... they planted evidence to set up some innocent mideast dupes to take a fall.

Just ask Patrick Henry and Gr8fuldaniel. :rolleyes:
