The British Newspaper The Oberserver reported this story in its Dec. 24th edition.<br /><p>The plan, which the French DGSE foreign intelligence service became aware of earlier this year, is revealed in a secret report to the French government on threat levels. The report, dated December 19, indicates that the tip-off came from the American CIA. British and French intelligence agencies have run a series of checks of the security system protecting the 31-mile tunnel but the threat level, the DGSE warns, remains high. British security services remain on high alert throughout the holiday period.</p><p><!-- /* set the domain in anticipation of the ad*/ if(setDomainForAds) { setDomainForAds(); }; //--></p><div id="spacedesc_mpu_div" class="MPU_display_class"><hr /><hr /></div><p>The news of the threat to the Channel Tunnel comes as Eurostar trains transport record numbers of passengers heading home for Christmas and as fog continues to affect flights to and from the continent.</p><p>More than 8 million passengers travelled on Eurostar trains last year. Staff on the line went on strike earlier this year in protest at what they said were lax security arrangements.</p><p>'A successful attack on such an installation would be almost as spectacular as September 11', said one terrorist expert.
