“Al Qaeda Plot to Blow Up Five Passenger Planes in Christmas Spectacular”
by Koenig's Eye View from the White House
December 8th, 2014

In this recent article from the Express (U.K.), Donal MacIntyre uncovers a new terrorist plot against British and European airliners and the steps being considered to counter it:

Mobile phones and electronic devices could still be banned from plane cabins, with the threat of a 9/11-style coordinated attack on London and other major cities feared imminent.

The warning comes as Whitehall officials admit that a terror strike on the U.K. is now “almost inevitable” particularly with British jihadis returning from fighting alongside the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

An airport security source told the Sunday Express: “We’ve been told that five planes are being targeted in a high profile hit before Christmas. They’ve been waiting for the big one.

“We have many scares but this one nearly got hand baggage pulled from all airlines. The threat is still alive and real.”

The plot, which has been known about for the past two months, is thought to involve Islamists smuggling bombs on to planes bound for major European destinations before Christmas.

The latest threat is understood to have been uncovered by American intelligence officers who fear that despite success in taking out key Al Qaeda bomb-makers, the genie is out of the bottle and sleeper cells are currently preparing for a doomsday scenario.

Last night leading terrorism expert Dr Sally Leivesley said the banning of hand luggage and hand held electronic devices is unlikely to be accepted by the airlines despite the risks.

She explained: “Efforts to ban all electronic devices including computers from business class passengers which reaps huge revenue for the airlines is nearly unsustainable in their business model.

“However, I would contend that even a mobile phone in the hold [of a plane] is capable of being used as a trigger for a bomb or used as a bomb in its own right.

“There is [sic] likely to have been dry runs already with terrorists testing airport security.”

Dr. Leivesley, a former [U.K.] Home Office risk adviser, said that terrorists are now more likely to be “white, blond and blue eyed” who are radicalized in as little as five weeks.
