Britain: Terror plot in works
LONDON The threat of another major terrorist attack is building in Britain, a government security minister said Tuesday, a day after the House of Lords rejected a measure that would have extended the amount of time police can hold terror suspects without charge.
Alan West, a counterterrorism minister and member of the House of Lords, said the threat is rising after having dipped slightly.
"Another great plot is building up again that we are monitoring," he said, without providing further details.
Ireland: Company cuts workers
DUBLIN Waterford Crystal plans to jettison most of its remaining Irish work force and produce the bulk of its hand-cut glassware overseas, employees and union representatives said Tuesday.
Several workers leaving the crystal works in Waterford said union leaders told them the company wants to cut 230 more jobs. That would come on top of 490 job cuts announced last November and leave just 125 workers in Waterford.
Mexico: Travel warning issued
MEXICO CITY The U.S. State Department has renewed a travel advisory warning Americans about an increase in violence in Mexico.
The alert advises Americans to be aware of rising crime and only visit legitimate business and tourist areas in Mexico. It does not recommend staying away from the country or any particular part of it.
But the alert issued Tuesday said violent crime is particularly worrisome in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas.
About 1,000 people have been killed so far this year in the city in drug-related violence. The travel alert said 1,600 cars were reported stolen in Ciudad Juarez in July alone.
More than 3,000 people have died this year across Mexico in violence blamed on organized crime and drug gangs.
