THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A series of suspicious packages found in Britain and Dubai could have been part of a “dry run” by al-Qaeda for a mail bomb plot in the United States, authorities believe.
The packages were found on an American-registered cargo plane at East Midlands airport in England, en route from Yemen to Chicago, via Cologne in Germany, and on aircraft in Dubai which had also come from Yemen.
"We know that these packages originated in Yemen and we are looking into potential links to terrorism," said one U.S. official.
It was claimed the devices were destined for synagogues in Chicago. Jewish organisations and synagogues in Britain said they were already on high alert. >>> Andrew Hough, and Peter Hutchison | Friday, October 29, 2010
