The arrested men were members of the Stern Gang. Natan Brun says he has seen all the material on his father's criminal files Did Al-Qaeda draw on Jewish inspiration for its attacks of 11 September 2001?
It may seem unlikely, but more than 60 years ago, Jewish militants were arrested in Paris on suspicion - as newspapers in Britain, France and the US reported at the time - of planning to bomb London from the air. The arrested men were members of the Stern Gang (or Lehi, as it is known in Israel), a group dedicated to the overthrow of British rule in Palestine, if necessary through violence, in order to create a Jewish state. The Stern Gang certainly had a bloody list of victims to its name. But was it also an early planner of aerial terror? Now the son of one of those arrested says he has come up with conclusive evidence that the gang was planning only to drop leaflets, not bombs over London.

In 2008, the remains of the newborn babies were rediscovered packed in cigarette cases in a dusty museum storeroom by Dr Jill Eyers from Chiltern Archaeology. They were excavated from the remains of a lavish Roman villa complex in Buckinghamshire almost 100 years earlier, but had remained hidden ever since. The story caught the attention of the world's press last year as Dr Eyers suggested that the villa was operating as a brothel and its occupants committing infanticide to dispose of unwanted offspring. "Even now, a year after all the original press attention, every other day I'm getting inquiries about this story. The Yewden Villa located near Hambleden in Buckinghamshire was excavated in 1912.
