Too bad most people have not read "the Communist Manifesto", "On Guerrilla Warfare", "the Art of Revolution" and a few others - that detail what these guys are doing. Well organized, semi discreet cells, lots of time between horrendous acts, classic disruption techniques - wanton destruction causing panic/terror - a calming period - repeat.

Operations are ongoing in the attempt to roll up the entirety of this cell.

Naturally, one can be sure that there are other cells currently prepping operations around the country.

Thank you Captain Obvious. Inquiring minds can now rest easy. When did you join the CIA?

Only if American's can understand what really is going on. I think most American's don't believe a word of what comes out of the White House. Its great that this happen with what is going on in the middle east and with Isreal.

Now if we can find those 11 Egyptian Students Missing in U.S.

Now a little ass kicking madness.

Job Well done U.K.

My b-school summer internship was spent with the Ground Operations London Heathrow unit of British Airways, based on the edge of LHR. I worked on analyzing the flow and service of connections baggage between the four terminals, and also completed several projects for the Terminal Five planning team. I stayed up late last night, mesmerized by the news coverage as the memories trickled back. This was just eleven years ago, but today it’s hard to imagine the world as it existed then.

Bravo Zulu and thanks to those responsible for this operation.

I read that story the other day also, and it was the first thing I thought of late last night when I saw the news breaking about this plot. 6 have since been taken into custody, so that is a positive update.

Reminiscent of Bojinka.

Are we getting better or were we lucky?

Yes. And we can't take comfort in either.
