BRITAIN FOILS MAJOR BOMB PLOT (The Straits Times 11 August pg1)

Advanced technology has given birth to more advanced weapons like liquid bombs which terrorists manipulate.
THANK GOODNESS the bomb plot was foiled by Britain. Blowing up as many as 10 US-bound planes is seriously ruthless. This proves that all they need is to succeed once to wipe out numerous lives while we have to succeed all the time to avoid tragedy.

Ever since the attempt, security checks have stepped up tremendously such as the ban of bringing in liquids to the plane.

Although the alleged plan was not carried out, damages have occurred. Thousands of flights have been cancelled and shares in European airlines have fell.

I strongly believe that the terrorists are trying to stir up distrust amongst each other, as it will only weaken nations. People now live in fear and suspicion as suspects were British-born.

Right now anyone could be a terrorist and any substance could be a bomb. This world is filled with uncertainty and it is just disheartening. I just hope that the terrorists can wake up and see that whatever they are doing is pointless and if all they wanted was revenge, they have seriously gotten it and should end it here.
