To answer your question, yes they were found guilty in 1975 and exonerated of all charges 30 years latter by none other than Mr. Tony Blair. can you imagine being wrongly convicted and held in prison for thirtty years?
On the other topic about the Heathrow terror plot and what is going on there and what has been done since. I manage to go to England several times a year for business and to see family so I have connections over there and thus can find out about "What is really going on," and not read the wrong stuff in the Times or the Post. What I find to be amusing or rather coincidental is that not only had MI6, CIA, and FBI uncovered this terror plot aimed at Heathrow airport primarily and US Bound Planes they all had no idea when it was to unfold and thought maybe it would be on the 5th year anniversary of sept. 11th, which would seem reasonable. The only thing is that I live inside the "Beltway" and I like many other washingtonian's have access to people in Intelleigence fields who work for the govt. These people may not be able to tell you what they do at work but their views and opinions are well known. I have been involved with intelligence officials before and they are trained to think and analyze in a way unbelievable to most people who don't know anything about intelligence. Has not what is going on in English and American airports to protect the flying public cost us that much or wasted our "precious time." Frankly i would rather arrive for an international flight 3 hours ahead than 2 hours ahead if I knew that arriving 1 hour earlier would help TSA screeners and officials have more time to thouroughly check bags and persons. I must say that once you've travelled on private jets funded by US tax dollars travelling on commercial airlines just doesn't cut it. You never want to go back flying commercially because you have been so spoiled with the hassle free luxurious jet-set lifestyle of walk on the plane and walk off. There is no standing in line or waiting for anyone (including baggage). If only we all had private little Jets to take us from point A to point B on the Map just like the Jetsons.
