Al-Qaeda's New/Old Strategy
Al Qaeda's 'new' strategy is kind of like 98 Degrees or O-Town: After the first wave of Backstreet Boys, and 'NSYNC, we kind of know what is going on...After that the schtick gets old, but if they want to keep trying the same thing over and over, I am happy about that: bring on the O-Town. Their intelligence and planning must have hit a wall:

'Security services foil 9/11 attack in UK'

Britain's security services thwarted a September 11-style attack on
targets including Canary Wharf and Heathrow Airport, according to reports.

The plot is said to have involved pilots being trained to fly into target
buildings including London's famous financial centre and the world's busiest
airport.

It is one of four or five al-Qaeda planned attacks, since 9/11,
that have come to nothing, after the authorities intervened, reports claim.

This is actually a 'good news' story. First off, these guys cannot think of another terror method, and secondly, they were foiled.
