#1 ...plotting to crash passenger jets into the House of Commons and the Tower Bridge in London on September 11, 2001.

So 9/11 was indeed intended to be a great deal more spectacular, as some speculated at the time. I wonder what other little plots fell through that day?

#3 The POTA laws were not that tough. They were considerably weaker than comparable British laws.

Indian leftists and "human rights activists", in their role of protector of minorities (read muslims) mounted an impressive propaganda campaign against the laws.

Magically these laws became draconian and "anti-minority"
