Al-Qaeda may plot attacks on airports and airliners
British security minister Ben Wallace said Sunday that Al-Qaeda is once again posing a growing threat to the world and is keeping British ministers "awake at night". Wallace explained that apart from plotting attacks at various airports, British intelligence has information that Al-Qaeda is also developing technologies to down passenger jets. "The aviation threat is real," Wallace said, adding: "Aviation is still a blue-ribboned event for these terrorists. Al-Qaeda are resurgent. They have reorganised. They are pushing more and more plots towards Europe and have become familiar with new methods and still aspire aviation attacks." Such is the threat that the UK has put in almost GBP25m to research a programme that would help protect planes. <br/>
