Junior minister learned of bomb threat six hours before David Cameron - Telegraph: "Baroness Neville-Jones, the security minister, disclosed that she was aware by 8am that a suspicious item had been found on a plane containing cargo thought to have been dispatched by al-Qaeda terrorists in Yemen.
However, Downing Street confirmed that David Cameron was unaware of the threat until 2pm on Friday.


Passengers at risk as cargo not X-rayed Questions have been raised over why Mr Cameron was not told of the alert until 11 hours after the device was found.
The printer cartridge containing explosive material was discovered at 3.30am on a cargo plane which was stopping on its way to the United States.
A spokesman said that “lessons would be learned” from the decision to keep Mr Cameron in the dark for so long.
No 10 refused to disclose whose decision it was not to inform the Prime Minister of the existence of the threat at 3am, when the device was discovered at East Midlands Airport by police acting on an intelligence tip off."
