Massive and Imminent Terrorist Plot Foiled
Thank goodness Germany arrested three people who planned to use explosives to have kill people at the large transit US Military base in Germanay as well as at the Frankfurt Airport. They said that it would have been much more massive than the London and Madrid bombings and the attacks were imminent, most likely to coincide with the 9/11 anniversay.

Any connection with radical mosques or Sheiks? There could be further arrests or at least inquiries.
1500 pounds of hydrogen peroxide... that's more than the average hairdresser's supply.
^ to the action to apprehend the alleged plotters and the intel behind the tip off and the nabbing.

These things are always described as massive. Usually, however, the suspects have big dreams and no way of acting on them. In this case, it certainly sounds as if the threat was real.

While the folks across the pond managed to impose the liquid-nonsense on EUians too (thanks for that, btw......
), I have yet to see barkers and bad attitudes from the customer service folks manning the WTMD/xray in any EU port that I've been going through, whereas it seems systematic "across the pond".Notice, being from the continental part of the EU, "across the pond" means "beyond the English channel" and so does include the UK as well
