It was a plot that investigators believe could have killed more people than 9/11.
Twenty years after British authorities uncovered a terrorist plan to smuggle liquid explosives onto transatlantic airliners and destroy multiple passenger jets bound for North America, the spies, police officers and intelligence officials at the heart of the operation are revealing how disaster was narrowly avoided.
In the upcoming ITV Exposure documentary, Terror in the Skies: Stopping the Liquid Bomb Plot, serving MI5 officers speak publicly for the first time about the operation that became the biggest surveillance operation in British history.
Alongside ground-breaking AI technology to re-create pivotal scenes, senior counter-terrorism police, CIA analysts and government ministers tell the inside story of a race to stop a conspiracy that threatened thousands of lives.
