Could someone add this to the article? Here are the sources necessary: CNN BBC (2230 & 2228 are the relevant ones) Al-Jazeera AP —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.99.101.135 ( talk) 16:01, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi ... shouldn't the title be changed to refer to "cargo planes" (plural)? Or do people think it will suggest there were over 2,000 planes?-- Epeefleche ( talk) 17:20, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
The BBC News yesterday mentioned that what had seemed to have been an accident involving the loss of two crew in a (UPS - I think) cargo jet crashing just after take-off is being linked as a possible trial for this attack. I didn't get the details of date or place, but is any thing more known about this incident? Regards Lynbarn ( talk) 20:05, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

CNN ran an article with a "law enforcement image" of the bomb's circuit board. This should be public domain if someone tracks it down... As for the board, can anyone confirm that the board doesn't have GPS capability? Which the Bird D736 (identified in this article) lacks. Wnt ( talk) 04:17, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
The phone dosent have GPS capability, they were (or atleast, it is suggested) tracked using the couriers own online system. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.16.78.158 ( talk) 15:45, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

The paragraph "British Prime Minister David Cameron and officials in the U.S..." appears high up in the article and then is repeated again in the closing paragraph... Bensheard ( talk) 19:32, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Re 2010_cargo_plane_bomb_plot#Tracking
I seems that this section is fairly speculative and hence a breach of WP:SPECULATION. I motion it be deleted. NickCT ( talk) 15:35, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
currently the article states "On November 4, France's Interior Minister, Brice Hortefeux, said that one of the bombs was defused just 17 minutes before it was set to explode. A British counter-terrorism source indicated that the bomb in question was the one in England." referencing this article. According to this the claim is not accurate. Considering it is based on a few words spoken by a French minister in passing, I think it should probably be removed, until it is confirmed by someone else.

Kudos to Fletcher -- fantastic work adding the pix!-- Epeefleche ( talk) 15:34, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
I'll leave it up to others to do the actual editing, but it may be worth including a section on UPS Airlines Flight 6 here, if it is confirmed to be an AQ act. Because if it is confirmed, it is certainly part of the same over "cargo plane bomb plot", and worthy of mentioning here. Grsz 11 02:50, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
The article cites Sam Kharoba, "founder of the Florida-based Counter Terrorism Operations Center". Given conclusive proof that Kharoba plagiarised a large proportion of his manual A Law Enforcement Guide to Understanding Islamist Terrorism from Wikipedia (see [2]), I have to suggest that he cannot be considered a reliable source, and will remove his statement accordingly - it adds little to the article anyway.

"They said his tip appeared to be based on more recent information than al-Faifi could access, and that the information must have come from a Saudi double agent in AQAP."
The source does use the term "double agent": "Vincent Cannistraro, a former CIA counter-terrorism chief with longstanding ties with Gulf spy agencies, said Saudi intelligence had succeeded in placing a number of double agents within Aqap."
However, there is no reason given for the term, which is not given in a direct quote. If the Saudi intelligence service has infiltrated operatives into an Al Qaeda cell, posing as genuine recruits, then those people are just agents - not "double agents". Unless there's any reason for keeping the term, I'd suggest changing it to something slightly more general such as "operatives" or just "agents".
