 Scotland Yard has busted 24 people involved in a terrorist plot to bomb airliners flying from Britain to the US. Other suspects are still on the loose at this time, and being hunted by police agencies across the globe. Governments and security agencies around the world have raised terror threat levels for air travel in response to the foiled plot.
