12th suspect charged in alleged terror plot

? A 12th suspect was charged Thursday in the alleged plot to use liquid explosives to down U.S. airliners over the Atlantic, British police said.

In another development in the case, Britain’s charity regulator froze the bank accounts of an aid organization while it investigated alleged links to the foiled plot.

The suspects are linked to an alleged plot to blow up as many as 10 passenger jets. The case set off major terror alerts in the United States and Britain when it was revealed two weeks ago.

Umair Hussain, 24, who was arrested Aug. 10, was charged with having information about a possible terrorist act and not disclosing it, Scotland Yard said. He will be arraigned today.

Eight of the other suspects were in court this week on charges of conspiracy to murder and preparing to commit acts of terrorism. Three others were charged with lesser offenses, including failing to disclose information.
