Spot the difference
One is the lead-in to the (online, front page) Fox News report about the arrest (initiated by the joint efforts of british and Pakistani police) of the would-be trans-Atlantic terror bombers, the other is that of the New York Times.
Can you guess which is which?
Case One: "Warning that Britain faced a “deadly” and “enduring” threat from terrorism, British authorities announced today that 11 of 23 people held in connection with a suspected plot to blow up America-bound planes would be formally charged with offenses that included planning to bomb the airliners and conspiracy to commit murder.
"The decision to press formal charges came after days of growing public skepticism about the extent of the plot."
Case Two: "U.K. charges 11 in plot to blow up planes after police find bomb-making equipment, 'martyrdom videos'"
Hint: the NYT item is juxtaposed on the front page with photo and report on the Britain-Pakistan cricket imbroglio.
