Britain has charged eleven people in the Islamic terror plot to blow up airplanes on their way to the US.

Eight have been charged with conspiracy to murder and preparing acts of terrorism. Two have been charged with failing to disclose information and a 17-year-old with possessing articles useful to a person preparing acts of terrorism. One woman has been freed without charge and eleven people remained in custody, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
The Met’s Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke told journalists that bomb making equipment, including chemicals and electrical components, had been found during the investigation into the alleged plot.
