- Go to Question: Where Are The Other Terrorists Involved In Liquid Bomb Scheme?
Of course they are, SuccessWarrior. Playing down the number while
assuring the population that all or nearly all of those involved have been captured is a tried and true public mollifier. When I saw and heard about the plans and the mixes, it seems as if there are more than three people involved just on the planes. At a minimum, that would be four per plane -- 40 people. I could be wrong and maybe the Brits and Americans have collaborated to make the number of planes higher to increase the scope (and make themselves look better for foiling a larger plot), but I believe that an operation like this had at least 50-100 people involved, and at least one-third of them not part of the suicide mission itself.
