Oh dear. Here's what the Saudis are saying this morning:

Suicide Dive On Saudi Jetliner Narrowly Averted
Saudi Authorities Reportedly Arrest 2 Pilots, Confiscate Planes
Loaded With Explosives

Two Islamic terrorists
had already packed their GA aircraft with explosives and were
intent on diving them into a British Airways 777 before they were
nabbed by authorities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That word comes from
a senior member of Britain's parliament, who says he'll provide
more details after the legislative assembly reconvenes from
Christmas break.

It appears this report was simply untrue. No reputable news organization has reported this
after the initial Reuters report.

I will be waiting to hear confirmation from UK sources after the new year's holiday (how much of
a threat could it really be if they're waiting a week to confirm it?).
