BREAKING: Terror plot directed at airliner thwarted
By Pam Benson
U.S., Yemeni and other intelligence agencies broke up a plot to bomb a U.S. airliner around the anniversary of the raid that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, a U.S. counterrrorism official said Monday, although a second U.S. counterrorism official said that the threat was not timed to coincide with the death of the al Qaeda leader.
The plot was discovered before it threatened any Americans, and no airliners were put at risk, the official said. A non-metallic explosive device similar to the one used in the failed attempt to bomb a Detroit-bound jet in 2009 was recovered, the official said. Both devices were associated with Ibrahim Hassan al Asiri, the official said.
And a Yemeni official told CNN that his government was made aware of a possible attack tied to the anniversary. The target was not specific, the official said, and the alert went out to the United States and other partners in the war on terror.
The White House said President Barack Obama was told about the plot in April, and the attempt "underscores the necessity of remaining vigilant against terrorism here and abroad."
CNN's Elise Labott and Jessica Yellin contributed to this report.

There is noticeably a lot of money to learn about this. I suppose you have made certain nice points in functions also.

March 20, 2012 at 7:43 pmLogically God cannot exist. Otherwise God is sbcjeut to all the laws of existence; otherwise there are no such laws.So by definition God is not.Conclusion: God cannot exist: atheism is logically God’s religion. If we could hear Jesus without the scriptural static, we’d discover his atheism and so celebrate Mind’s Reason rather than its brain-based division.maikel annaghlee says: April 10, 2012 at 1:52 pm Damian,What a wonderful reply! For Lewis Carroll is one of my favourite avatars.Firstly you write: “If that’s logic, I think we’re all in ‘Wonderland’… ”Naturally we are, if we are as illogical as to think that God is sbcjeut to the laws of existence and is so anthropomorphic as to have to ‘believe in ‘himself'. That’s why God is logically an atheist: he/she/it/they does not exist as we understand existence and its laws. Otherwise we do live in a fantasy world of ‘wonderland’ or ‘through the looking glass’ As for Jesus, he doesn’t believe in the Hebrew God either. This is why he is The One to restore us to the Trurh. This is what the Scriptures told him and I agree and so do Andy and Larry [neo Lana] Wachowski. Lewis Carroll’s world was not coded red or blue like the Matrix but the distortion of Reality was just as effective as is our anthropomorphic God.
