THE TELEGRAPH: Three suspected al-Qaeda members believed to be linked to attacks in Britain and the US have been arrested in Norway.
Officials believe they were planning attacks with portable but powerful bombs like the ones at the heart of last year's thwarted suicide attack in the New York City subway. The three men had been under surveillance for a year.
Officials said the group had been attempting to make peroxide bombs, but that it was not clear whether the men had selected a target.
The Norway plot was allegedly organised by Salah al-Somali, al-Qaeda's former chief of external operations, the man in charge of plotting attacks worldwide. He was killed by a CIA drone last year. >>> | Thursday, July 08, 2010
