It is now 7:07. Here’s Lester. Ann, thanks. Now to those terror arrests in Britain and Pakistan. This morning, British authorities downgraded the terror threat level to severe just 4 days after it broke up an alleged plot to blast trans-Atlantic jetliners out of the sky.

Good morning, Lester? There’s a bit of confusion here this morning. Only hours after Britain’s home… top homeland security official warned another that another terror attack here is highly likely. Authorities lowered the alert level.

 

This may be why. London’s Heathrow Airport was nearing a meltdown 끝장남, 파국. It took 7 hours for some passengers to get through 통과하다 security and checked in for flights. The airlines charged that elements of the security crackdown 단속 were absurd 불합리한, 터무니없는, requiring body searches of young children going on vacation with their parents. “These are not terrorists. These are not extremists. These are a threat to nobody.”

 

Last night, a ringing cell phone caused a British Airways flight to New York to turn around in mid flight and return to London. Still, Britain’s homeland security secretary claims the alert level was lowered strictly because of a new intelligence assessment 평가, 판단. “The assessment is that an attack is not imminent 임박한, 곧 닥칠, though still highly likely in the longer term.”

 

There’re about 2 dozen other major terrorism investigations underway 진행중인 here. Only 2 weeks ago, this video of a terrorist training camp was posted on a militant website in Britain. The title, “They are coming.” Officials now believe the main players in this plot are in custody 수감되어. 23 are under arrest here, reportedly 17 in Pakistan. Intelligent sources tell NBC News that several martyrdom 순교, 순사 videos have been found in suspects’ homes.
