UK - Plan to crash jets into Heathrow foiled

Remember when British troops were deployed to Heathrow? That was in February 2003. Thanks to the US and Bush's policy of detaining terrorists, we now know why.

During a speech about the CIA programme, President George Bush said information from those held had "helped stop a plot to hijack passenger planes and fly them into Heathrow or Canary Wharf in London".

Bin al-Shibh was said to have been a would-be 9/11 hijacker who fled Afghanistan after the overthrow of the Taliban in late 2001 and headed to Karachi.

There, he and Mohammed worked on "follow-on plots against the West, particularly the Heathrow plot", the US document said.

He was captured in 2002.

In another document, summarising the so-called "High Value Terrorist Detainee Programme", Odni said the "Heathrow Airport Plot" had been disrupted in 2003 on the basis of information that came from detainees.

"In 2003 the US and several partners - acting on information from several detainees - disrupted a plot to attack Heathrow Airport using hijacked commercial airliners," it said.

"KSM and his network were behind the planning for this attack."

Not many people know there was a failed attempt to fly planes into Parliament on 9/11.

And it's been just over one year since the foiled sarin gas attack on Parliament.

If the left had their way, how many innocent people would have been murdered.
