UK expands watch list, halts Yemen flights - CNN.com: "London, England (CNN) -- Britain is expanding its security watch list and has suspended all direct flights to Yemen as part of a series of new counterterrorism measures, Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced Wednesday.

The watch list also will be used as the basis for two new lists, Brown said -- a no-fly list and a larger list of those subject to special measures, such as enhanced screening before they board a flight.

The measures are intended to strengthen British security, enhance counterterrorism work and maximize the security of air travel, Brown said."
