2 brothers emerge as focus of plot probe - Yahoo! News


If the money trail leads to Bush family friends in Saudi Arabia, we won't hear anymore about this.

We can count on that!


2 brothers emerge as focus of plot probe - Yahoo! News:

LONDON - Brothers arrested in Pakistan and England emerged Saturday as key figures in a suspected plot to destroy U.S.-bound aircraft during flight, while prominent Muslims in Britain accused the government of encouraging extremism through its foreign policy.

Pakistani intelligence agents were questioning at least 17 people, including British nationals, officials said. British police released one suspect Friday night but were continuing to question 23 others suspected of involvement to bring down as many as 10 airliners with innocent-looking liquid explosives.

A senior Pakistani security official said the arrest of Rashid Rauf, a British citizen, was followed within days by a telephone call from someone in Pakistan urging the British plotters to execute their plan.

'This telephone call intercept in Karachi and the arrest of Rashid Rauf helped a lot to foil the terror plan,' said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
