Major Anti-Terrorism Bust
The British government is charging 8 men with "terrorism-related offenses, including conspiracy to commit murder."

In addition, one of the men is charged with possessing plans that could have been used as the basis for a terror attack on financial institutions in New York and Washington.

He and another man face a similar charge concerning a financial building in New Jersey....

All eight are accused of conspiring together and with unknown persons to commit murder and conspiring to commit public nuisance by "using radioactive materials, toxic gases, chemicals and/or explosives to cause a disruption, fear or injury."

Barot and Tarmohammed were charged with possessing documents or information that could be "useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism" because authorities said they had a "reconnaissance plan concerning the Prudential Building in New Jersey."

Barot also was charged with possessing a reconnaissance plan concerning the New York Stock Exchange, Citigroup in New York and the International Monetary Fund in Washington, the statement said.

This story began with the arrest in Pakistan of Muhammad Naeem Moor Khan, which was made possible by the post-9/11 anti-terrorism strategy of the Bush Adminstration, which are clearly making America safer.

Update: Will Howard Dean and other Democrats now apologize for accusing the Bush Adminstration of inventing the latest terrorism threats out of thin air? Stay tuned!...
