Chertoff: Not certain all plotters found

WASHINGTON - The well-advanced plot to blow up airliners flying from Britain to the United States had the markings of al-Qaida, and it's not yet certain that authorities have found everyone involved, the Homeland Security secretary says.

More will be learned in the next hours and days, Secretary Michael Chertoff told reporters Thursday. In the meantime, the US airline system remains on high alert, with tougher passenger inspections expected Friday.

Details continued to emerge about the alleged plot, which officials said they had been tracking for months. A congressman briefed by intelligence officials, who did not want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the investigation, said US intelligence had intercepted terrorist chatter and British intelligence helped thwart the plot through undercover work.

British authorities arrested 24 people Thursday based partly on intelligence from Pakistan, where authorities detained up to three others several days earlier. More arrests were expected, an official said.

For the US traveling public, already heavy security restrictions got even worse. Thursday night, British Airways banned carry-on bags from all flights between the United States and Britain. On Friday, passengers in the US will be subject to a second security check at airport gates to prevent anyone from carrying onto planes liquids that could be used in an explosion, airline officials said.

President Bush said the foiled plot showed the nation was "at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation."

"This country is safer than it was prior to 9/11," Bush said Thursday in Green Bay, Wis. "We've taken a lot of measures to protect the American people, but obviously we're not completely safe. ... It is a mistake to believe there is no threat to the United States of America."

Bush's spokesman had earlier declared "it is safe to travel." The president urged Americans to be patient with the many inconveniences that will result from the increased threat level that the plot prompted him to approve.

The plot unfolded while Congress was on vacation, but that didn't prevent some lawmakers from engaging in the same partisan sniping that has poisoned much of the congressional session.

Ron Bonjean, communications director for House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said Democrats have voted against strengthening the intelligence tools "that saved the day" in the current plot.
