Description: "08/10/2006: Eight British Muslims were arrested in a terrorist plot to use liquid explosives to destroy ten commercial trans-Atlantic jetliners flying to the United States, two weeks before the plot was planned to be launched. Most of them were in their 20s and of Pakistani extraction. The group planned to down flights, including Air Canada flight 849 to Toronto and Air Canada flight 865 to Montreal.
