British Break Up Terror Plot
British intelligence and police have foiled a major terror plot.
The basic outline of the plot seems to be this: using liquid explosives disguised as common items (beverages, lotions, gels) or concealed in electronic devices, suicide bombers would destroy planes on Trans-Atlantic flights.
21 people have been arrested in connection with this plot; rumor is that they are all British citizens, of Pakistani ethnicity. This has not been confirmed.
As you can imagine, there is a lot left to learn about this.
Quote of the day comes from Instapundit:
"Some people have decided that the war on terror is passe. But although you may not be interested in terrorism, terrorism is still interested in you."

It was ironic yesterday, after hearing about the terrorist plot on the radio, a commercial came on for a sports energy drink without a lot of sugar and caffeine.
Their slogan: "the sports drink that won't make you crash."
Perhaps it's time that they rethink their marketing strategy.
