Internet cafes raided

This just in from CNN.com:

British police confirmed Saturday that they had raided a series of Internet cafes in their investigation into an alleged plot to blow up as many as 10 trans-Atlantic aircraft.

There was no confirmation of any arrests in the raids in London, Birmingham and the Thames Valley region, west of the capital.

The raids came as links to suspected terror operatives in Pakistan -- possibly connected to al Qaeda -- were emerging Saturday as key elements of the investigation.

As if that's not enough fear for you, apparently Anderson Cooper is going to highlight the areas in the US that are ripe for a terror attack.
If you're interested, you can read the rest of the article. (I warn you, however, that most of it has nothing to do with the raids, which they sort of gloss over in favor of discussing all of the possible common household ingredients the terrorists might use to blow things up.)
