According to information from French and American intelligence, obtained by "The Observer," there is a "sky high" terrorist threat to the Channel Tunnel to cause "maximum carnage" during the holiday season.
"It's a far graver threat in terms of civilians than either the Cold War or the Second World War," according to Sir Ian Blair, the head of London's Metropolitan Police. The attack may come as early as Christmas day.
Young British-born Pakistanis, the same group that perpetrated the July 7, 2005, London subway bombings under direction of radical clerics in Pakistan, are thought to be the intended perpetrators of the new plan.
The problem for law enforcement officials is that such a terrorist attack is hard to prevent, even if you know it's coming. Christmas Eve is the time of highest traffic for the year, and it may not be possible to check every car or the luggage of every train passenger.
The "Chunnel," or Channel Tunnel is 31 miles long. It runs under the
English Channel and connects England to France, carrying both train
and automobile traffic. It's the largest underwater train tunnel in
the world.
