| oh. I'm sorry. Did I say muslims were arrested? These were people arrested at muslim gathering places who were probably of pakistani descent who are probably british or italian. There's no good reason to assume they were muslim. At least, the media doesn't seem think so. LONDON — Police arrested 40 people in cities throughout Italy in raids on Muslim gathering places in a security crackdown after Britain thwarted an alleged terror plot, the Interior Ministry said Friday, as Pakistani intelligence agents claimed there was an Al Qaeda connection with ties to Afghanistan to the group of suspected terrorists arrested Thursday. The arrests in Italy were made Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence, Naples and other cities on Thursday and Friday "as part of an extraordinary operation that followed the British anti-terrorist operation," the ministry said in a statement. |

| #9 I disagree, now people who fly know to watch for anyone trying to disassemble a walkman (Etc) and Jump them. Think of the hundreds of people who already hate the hassle of No Carry-ons, endless waits at airports (Be there two hours before the flight) and let them catch somebody pouring a bottle of baby's milk into a bottle of aftershave, then disassembling some kind of hand held electronics. The flight would have to be steam cleaned upon landing to get all the bloody pieces out of the carpets. |

| #7 Amen, Frank. I express shock and anger too, but mine never seems to make it into the newspapers. Agreed, SPoD. Law enforcement officials at that. What are these idiots thinking? |

| #6 To any persons in the US government who may happen upon this The bombs were to be assembled on the aircraft, apparently with peroxide-based solution and everyday carry-on items such as a disposable camera or a music player, two American law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Britain asked that no information be released. Find these 2 and shoot them. No trial take them out and shoot them for treason. These leaks have got to stop and stop now. No one will share info with us if we can't keep it secret and it's obvious we can't. We are in a war. Leakers are traitors. Shoot their worthless asses and leave them to rot. |

| #2 Muslims expressed shock and anger.... Do you think I f*&king care?? Muslims need to express some fear that if they don't get right, and soon, they won't walk the streets safely. Clean your own house, or it will get down for you. Over and OUT |

| #1 after learning the plotters hoped to stage a practice run within two days, with the actual attack expected just days after that. 8/22? They may have counted on Ahmadinutjob pulling something off and piggyback on the "kill the infidel" bandwaggon. |
