Three men have been found guilty of plotting to kill thousands of people by blowing up planes from London to North America with home-made liquid bombs.
A Woolwich Crown Court jury convicted Abdulla Ahmed Ali, 28, Tanvir Hussain, 28, and Assad Sarwar, 29, of conspiring to activate bombs disguised as drinks.
In a statement, Susan Hemming from the Crown Prosecution Service said that it was a ''calculated and sophisticated plot to create a terrorist event of global proportions.''
The CPS said it now had seven days to decide whether to seek a retrial of four other men found not guilty of involvement in the airline plot.
