French officials say they interviewed seven people in connection with the shutdown of Air France's Paris-to-L.A. run, and found no evidence of planned terrorism.

However, Drudge has a bulletin on his site now, pre-viewing a Washington Post story tomorrow; the story reportedly quotes U.S. officials as saying one passenger on the cancelled Air France flight was a pilot who never showed. Several members of al Qaeda, Drudge reports, had planned to crash land the plane in Las Vegas.

This story seems to be developing, and growing more serious by the day/hour. Still, there has been no official statement from U.S. Homeland Security officials - more than 24 hours after the Air France flights were cancelled.
