Wonder if this has anything to do with that plane from London to the U.S that was turned around the other day?

Authorities say they have disrupted major terror plot in Britain

The Associated Press

LONDON– A major terrorist plot to blow up an aircraft mid-flight between Britain and the U.S. has been disrupted, police said Thursday.

Police arrested a number of people overnight in London after a covert counter-terrorist operation lasting several months, police said in a statement.

The plot was believed to have involved smuggling explosive devices on board an aircraft in hand luggage, police said. It was likely to target flights from Britain to the U.S., police said.

British Airways advised passengers on its Web site Thursday that no hand luggage was to be permitted on any aircraft leaving Britain.

Britain raised its security threat level to "critical" on Thursday, which means it expects an attack imminently, after a police said they had foiled a plot to blow up aircraft.

The Home Office Web Site showed the rating had been raised to "critical" from "severe" earlier on Thursday. Britain has a five level rating for security threats, ranging from low to critical, which is the highest level.
