Soft drink bottles and batteries ... these are the everyday items British Muslim terrorists planned to use to bring down seven transatlantic airplanes enroute to the U.S. and Canada between August and October of 2006, which would have resulted in the death of thousands of innocent civilians. As reported by the London DailyMail:

A hypodermic syringe would be inserted into the base to draw out the drink and the bomb mixture would be injected in its place.

A homemade detonator called hexamethylene triperoxide and also known as HMTD would be made from a mixture of household and commercial ingredients and disguised in AA batteries. Bulbs and wires would connect the bomb mixture with disposable cameras to trigger a charge to set it off.

What could have been the biggest terrorist attack since 9/11 was averted when alert British authorities began rounding up 18 suspects after months-long surveillance revealed their plot.

The arrests led to a ban on many liquid containers at airports worldwide.

What was even more chilling was the unknown possibility of whether terrorists would have blown up the airliners over land causing infinitely more damage and toll of human lives in the carnage.

The alleged plot was foiled on August 9, 2006 when two of the key gang members - Abdulla Ahmed Ali and Assad Sarwar - were arrested by police in a town hall car park in Walthamstow, East London, following several months of surveillance.
...
Police found a USB computer memory stick in Ali's pocket which held information on flight timetables and security advice on restricted items for hand luggage and other information about Heathrow Airport.

To avoid looking like Muslim extremists at the airport check-in, the suspects planned to include pornographic magazines and condoms in their carry-on luggage.
