But its frustration grew as the group failed to fundamentally undermine America and its allies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Five years later the time was ripe for another spectacular mega-plot. Fresh from masterminding the London Underground carnage, one veteran operative set in motion a new operation to destroy passenger aircraft over the Atlantic Ocean-and kill thousands of people in the process. \u003ci\u003eDisruption\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of that conspiracy and the heroic efforts by the intelligence services of the United States, Great Britain, and Pakistan to uncover and crush it. From the streets of London to the training camps of Pakistan to the corridors of power in Washington DC, the story unfolds with murders, double-crosses, probes, jailbreaks, and explosions.
