Security Crackdown In Wake Of Jet Bomb Plot:
Quote:
The Home Secretary has announced a security crackdown in the wake of the cargo plane terror plot, including the banning of printer cartridges in hand luggage from midnight.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Teresa May also said the suspension of flights containing unaccompanied air freight to this country from Yemen and Somalia will be extended from 12am.
A tip-off from a leading al Qaeda militant who surrended to Saudi Arabia led to the discovery of a bomb hidden in computer printer cartridges on a cargo plane in the UK, according to Yemeni security officials.
