After a little research in Wikipedia starting at ANFO, I'm beginning to suspect ammonium nitrate and nitrobenzene. There's no imaginable way anyone could make acetone peroxide inconspicuously on an airplane; either the terrorists were being incredibly stupid, or somebody in the press has failed to do their research after somebody in the government gave them bad, sketchy, or perhaps deliberately misleading information.

A lot of the news we're getting on this seems to be AP rehashes of US police rehashes of UK police information. Not too much chance for accuracy there, I think.

Looking at the news here, there seems to be less there, there, than the volume of news we are getting. The plot--if there even was one--was penetrated in last December, and on tips from tortured Pakistani prisoners. No charges have been filed as yet, and one of the prisoners has already been released. I think there probably was a plot, but it would be nice to know for sure.
