Terrorists jailed for life in flight bomb plots

THREE British terrorists were jailed for life yesterday for plotting to murder thousands of passengers on transatlantic flights in an atrocity which would have compared to the September 11 attacks.

The airline bomb plot was “the most grave and wicked conspiracy ever proven within this jurisdiction”, the judge Mr Justice Henriques said.

The members of the al-Qaida-inspired terror cell planned to detonate home-made liquid bombs on flights bound for major North American cities.
