IN THE COMING DAYS we will learn the details of the foiled, massive airline bomb plot. But early reports indicate that there are important similarities with the July 7, 2005 London bombings and the Pakistani terror network which orchestrated that attack.

Similar to the 7/7 bombings, reports indicate that the plotters had ties to terrorists operating in Pakistan. The British investigation into the 7/7 bombings revealed that the plot’s ringleaders had traveled to Pakistan, where they likely “had some contact with Al Qaeda figures.”
