Re: NJC Heathrow

[sl . m]

Tamsin, there's a specific threat from a terrorist cell with links to al-Qaeda - they apparently intend to blow up an aircraft leaving or arriving at Heathrow using a ground-to-air missile. The threat is said to be serious and specific, so Tony Blair has authorized the deployment of the army as well as counter-terrorist police around the airport.

Driving up off the M4 this morning into Slough and there are police everywhere, I guess as we are in the Heathrow flight path.
Apparently there is an increased police presence everywhere in the flight path - what with this and the army at the airport it makes me wonder what they know. Heard some police chief say something about a "specific threat" and then withdraw that statement.
Not feeling too safe this morning at my desk...
