"Did Al-Qaeda draw on Jewish inspiration for its 9-11 attacks? It may seem unlikely -- but more than 60 years ago, Jewish militants -- fighting for an independent State of Israel, free from British rule -- were arrested, in Paris, on suspicion of planning to bomb London from the air. The sensational story was reported in all the journals on record -- The Times, in Britain; Le Monde and Le Figaro, in France; the New York Times, in the States. Recently declassified documents from MI5 show that the security services were convinced the plot was real. But was it?" More tonight when Tim hears from the son of one of those arrested, Our MIddle East Correspondent Tim Franks has been speaking to the son of Akiva Brun - one of those arrested. Here he is:
