2. Let's see what happens with this case next in the UK
Several commentators said the threat was deliberately exaggerated to bolster the anti-terror credentials of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and that it helped to demonise British Muslims of Pakistani origin.

The Crown Prosecution Service in the UK said the dropping of charges against Mr Rauf in Pakistan would "make no difference" to the case against the men charged in Britain.

:eyes:

From the start, this whole plot seemed more politically-timed provocation than actual threat. Rauf, the suspected ring-leader, was a Scotland Yard/MI5/MI6 double-agent. See, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1913199&mesg_id=1913199
