A man was jailed today for at least six years by a British court today for raping a young woman who had been thrown off her last bus home because she was 20p short of the fare.

Pictures have been released in America of the burnt underwear worn by the man who allegedly tried to blow up a plane above Detroit on Christmas Day.

The man at the centre of the failed Detroit airliner bomb plot had been banned from entering Britain, it was disclosed today.
