- 12 years ago
Three British men have been found guilty of conspiring to use homemade liquid bombs to kill people.
They were cleared along with five others, of planning to bomb transatlantic airliners in an al-Qaeda-style attack.
However the jury found just three of them guilty and of a lesser charge.
When their plot was discovered in 2006, thousands of flights around the world were disrupted and new restrictions were imposed banning passengers from taking liquids on board aircrafts.
