Was America being targeted again? So far no bombs have been found – but the White House says it was aware last night of a potential threat and the security operation went into full swing early this morning.

At East Midlands Airport near Nottingham a UPS cargo plane headed from Yemen to Chicago was searched and a suspect package seized. Another was found in Dubai.

Tonight was this a real threat? A dry run? Or a false alarm?

Also tonight:

The moving testimony of aid worker Linda Norgrove’s parents – but no anger at the circumstances surrounding her death in Afghanistan.

And beware romantic blessings on island paradises in languages you don’t understand. A Maldivian mischief maker causes outrage as the wedding video goes viral.
