Italians arrest 40 in terror plot
Quote:
LONDON — ANSA news agency reported that Italian police arrested 40 people in security operation after British aircraft terror plot thwarted as Pakistani intelligence agents claimed there was an Al Qaeda connection with ties to Afghanistan to the group of suspected terrorists arrested Thursday.
In a statement, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said the arrests underscored "the very important role that has been played by Pakistan in breaking this international terrorist network." It said there were "indications of Afghanistan-based Al Qaeda connection" in the case, but did not elaborate.
British officials released a list of 19 of the suspects while travelers in Britain's airports faced increased security and cancelled flights.
Five Pakistanis have been arrested in Pakistan as suspected "facilitators" of the plot, a government official said, in addition to two Britons arrested there about a week ago.

Another part of the British plot?
Curious this is happening right before the August 22 date which has been so prominent in the Iranian statements on nukes and Israel.

We just have to try to evaluate them the best we can."
