Al-Qaeda have allegedly claimed responsibility for bombings in London and Madrid. In the early 1990s, some members of al-Qaeda had participated with the Bosnian mujahideen, including 9/11 hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi. After the conviction of three men linked with the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot British intelligence services stated that Al-Qaeda operatives based in Pakistan are still plotting to target airliners. And in August 2009 militants linked with Al-Qaeda claimed that they were planning a "spectacular attack" in Britain.

Main article: 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot

In September 2009 Tanvir Hussain, Assad Sarwar and Ahmed Abdullah Ali were convicted of conspiring to activate bombs disguised as drinks on 7 aircrafts leaving from London and going to North America. British and US security officials said the plan - unlike many recent homegrown European terrorist plots - was directly linked to al-Qaeda and guided by senior Islamic militants in Pakistan.
