US 'warning of al-Qaida small plane attack'
US authorities say they have uncovered a plan by al-Qaida to crash an explosives-laden aircraft into the American consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, which prompted the Homeland Security Department to warn about possible attacks in the United States.
A department advisory said al-Qaida was in the late stages of planning an attack on the consulate using a small fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter.
