In Britain eleven people have been charged in connection with an alleged terror plot to blow up transatlantic airliners.

• British police official Peter Clarke: “There is evidence from surveillance carried out before the 10th of August. This includes important indeed highly significant video and audio recording. I can also tell you that since the 10th of August we have found bomb making material. There are chemicals including hydrogen peroxide, electrical components, documents and other items. We have also found a number of video recordings.”
