MILLIONS of people living in the region at the centre of a major anti-terror operation have been urged not to let speculation over potential targets affect their Easter plans.
Greater Manchester Chief Constable Peter Fahy said the public should not fear visiting any of the reported targets of a suspected al-Qaida plot – which include Manchester's Trafford Centre and Arndale Centre – over the weekend, and that he and his family would have "no hesitation" in shopping there.

Never?

Lets face it the Airport bombers DROVE to London from Houston, outside glasgow. Their mate was based in Liverpool. The 7/7 bombers were from Yorkshire.
I'm no expert in geography, but given we a a relatively small island, travel time from one part of the UK to the other can be what 8hrs coast to coast? No borders, no checks, no random stop & searches. So, just by being based in manchester, the plot may not centre on manchester, perhaps most likely somewher within 3-4 hrs from there?
Leaves an awfully big target area.
