England is also at an elevated alert status, and several Muslims have been stopped from boarding flights to the US from there.
Hmmmmmm.... I had heard about England's elevated alert, via the radio, but somehow missed the connection to Osama. His name was never uttered. I didn't even know he claimed it till I just read this thread.
Now, I know about the failings of the MSN, but hells bells, sometimes I take a day or two's rest from scouring news, and look what happens.
