British authorities charge 11 in terror plot with crimes, the Washington Post reports:
British authorities today announced terrorism and murder-conspiracy charges against 11 people in the alleged plot to blow up trans-Atlantic airliners, saying their searches since Aug. 10 have uncovered large caches of bomb-making components as well as “martyrdom” tapes of the type often prepared by Islamic suicide bombers before they attack.
Charges may also be brought against 11 others arrested on Aug. 10, officials said in a televised news conference, as they continue what Scotland Yard described as a globe-spanning probe, nowhere near complete, of an “immense,” “deadly” and “enduring” conspiracy to kill air passengers between the United Kingdom and the United States.
