Liquid
Bomb Plot is the incredible true story of the surveillance operation
that stopped a fatal disaster and saved thousands of lives.
It's August 2006. A UK terrorist cell plans to launch suicide bombs
that would have resulted in the world's largest and deadliest attack
since 9/11.
The plot involved exploding devices disguised as soft drinks and, if
it had succeeded, would have blown planes from the sky killing 2,000
people in a single night.
The failed plan has changed the nature of UK air travel to this very
day - with restrictions still in place on the amount of liquid
passengers can carry.
Featuring dramatic reconstructions and interviews with the men who
worked to stop the slaughter, this is the tale of Britain's massive
surveillance operation.
Travelling between the upper ranks of Washington, the dusty streets of
Pakistan and the inner cities of Britain, this fast-paced documentary
brings together the work of the UK police, MI5, the CIA, the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security, Pakistani officials and others in
their efforts to stop the bombers.
From former Home Secretary John Reid to the undercover agents who
monitored the suspects, you'll hear from those involved in foiling the
terrorists' plans. |
