                    [Title] => First plot to blow up US airlines foiled by Manila accident
                    [Summary] => 

A mysterious chemical fire in a seedy hotel in Malate, Manila in January 1995 foiled the first plot to blow American airliners out of the sky with liquid bombs — a grisly scenario allegedly planned by extremists arrested in Britain.


British authorities said Thursday they had thwarted a terrorist plot to simultaneously blow up 10 aircraft heading to the US using explosives smuggled in hand luggage in a plan that police described as "mass murder on an unimaginable scale."
