Foiled Terror

Pajamas Media and the Counterterrorism Blog have a fair amount of information on the broken up plot to blow up airplanes traveling between the UK and the US. There isn't much know other than 21 people have been arrested and they were planning on bringing liquid bomb components onto a plane and assembling the bombs in the cabin. Various things are banned from carry-on items. British flights have banned laptop computers, mobile phones, and iPods from the passenger cabin! Some reports say no carry on bags at all.

What I want to know is who are the those arrested and how did officials find out about the plot.
