Australian Attorney-General says al-Qaeda planning to top 9/11
Attorney-General Philip Ruddock today warned that al-Qaeda may be planning to outdo its attack on New York, as airlines grounded flights amid fears of chemical or biological attack on an aircraft. Over the weekend, British Airways, Air France and Continental Airlines cancelled several trans-Atlantic flights, citing security concerns. Intelligence experts reportedly said possible threats may include the release of a biological agent on a plane so those aboard would spread the infection without knowing it.
Yep. That'd be an act of spectacular Islamic bravery...
Speaking from Boston where he is involved in security talks, Mr Ruddock told the Nine Network that significant progress had been made in decapitating the al-Qaeda leadership. But he said that success had not stymied al-Qaeda’s ambitions to attack Western interests, including Australian interests. "The belief here, in terms of their preparations, they would be seeking to outdo what they did before," he said. "I can’t comment any more specifically than that but there is a real and continuing concern about what they might be able to do, which is all the reason we need to be working stronger than ever at dealing with these issues."
