Media studies homework-an interesting news article

Three British men have been prosecuted twice, and are facing a life sentence in jail, as their plan to perform a launch of suicide bomb attacks using liquid bombs on a succesion of transatlantic airliners has been discovered. The jury was told by the prosecutors about 18 months ago that they were going to disguise liquid bombs as soft drinks bottles. This was the plot that caused chaos to international aviation because liquids were almost entirely banned from hand luggage on planes, which is still a case continued today. The first jury prosecuted the men of conspiracy to murder thinking that their only target was planes, but then a retrial took place and the second jury has found them guilty of trageting ordinary travellers. The three ringleaders include Ahmed Ali, Assad Sarwar and Tanvir Hussain. Emails, and suspicious discoveries such as a tub of powdered drink filled with an unusual number of batteries all were supportive evidence, discovering that these men were arranging bomb attacks. Now they are going to face a very lengthy sentence in jail.
