SHOOT: Remember when airlines were suddenly grounded, and people were told no liquids were allowed on board? It was because of these guys. I have a problem with anyone who thinks they are jusitified in killing hundreds of other people. One life is justifiable to some extent if in self defence, otherwise, this is absolute lunacy. Absolute lack of respect for life in general, their own lives and the lives of others. It shows the extent of unspeakable hatred in some religious people.
LONDON – Three British Muslims were convicted Monday of plotting to murder thousands by downing at least seven trans-Atlantic airliners in simultaneous attacks designed by al-Qaida to be the deadliest terrorist strike since Sept. 11, 2001.
Abdulla Ahmed Ali, 28, Assad Sarwar, 29, and Tanvir Hussain, 28 were found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court in London of leading a plan to detonate bombs on aircraft bound for the United States and Canada, using liquid explosives hidden in soda bottles.
The case brought sweeping new restrictions for air passengers, including limits on the amount of liquids and gels they can take carry on board.
Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte told the Senate in 2007 the plot "would have been on a par, or something similar to 9/11."
The plotters planned to assemble bombs in airplane toilets using hydrogen peroxide-based explosives injected into soda bottles, prosecutors said.

Why would members of the Religion of Peace plot such a horrific and violent act?
Check out The Religion of Peace Subject Index for the answers.
A lot of heinous activity is done in the name of 'good'. It's the whole thing of 'a means to an end' and the means is always in service to the end. Seldom a good idea.
