That is a whole lot different story than they were reporting when it happened. Looks like just another example of the British and American governments playing their fear games, and trying to make themselves look like great terrorist-busters.
The fear mongering used by US government and the mainstream American media is laughable. I would bet the NBC report is correct, I'm sure their was a threat, but likely alot less imminent then what was being reported.

On a related note, I had to laugh last night watching CNN, now that the cease fire is in place they didnt have any pictures of war zones to cover so they rolled out a great program "In the Footsteps of Bin Laden"!

Basically "Hey American public, be scared be very scared, he is still alive and out there.....in fact he is coming for you all so be afraid dammit and dont question anything"
