Key Terror Clues Found 10 Days Ago
British Officials: Agents Secretly Raided Home With Bomb Materials

(Page 1 of 2)
LONDON, Aug. 11, 2006

(CBS/AP) As investigators continued to search the homes of suspects connected with a plot to explode U.S.-bound jetliners, officials tell CBS News the most critical evidence was discovered about 10 days ago when British intelligence agents secretly broke into one residence and found the bomb-making material — both the liquid ingredients and the detonators.

Officials are trying to keep details about the bombs secret in order to prevent other terrorists from copying the design, reports CBS News national defense correspondent David Martin.

But the director for Homeland Security made it clear Friday that these devices have never been seen before.

"We're going to reengineer what they've done. We're going to see how that differs from things we've known about and how it's the same," Michael Chertoff said.
