Al Qaeda planned suicide attacks on Karachi airport and an airbase used by Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf while a cell in Britain planned an attack on London's Heathrow airport, according to Pakistani intelligence sources.

They say Al Qaeda suspect Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian, who was arrested almost two weeks ago, told interrogators of the plans for suicide attacks inside Pakistan.

And maps of Heathrow and the names of some of 12 suspected al Qaeda operatives arrested in the past two days in Britain were found on a computer belonging to another suspect, Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan.

The sources say this week's crackdown in Britain was based on the information.
