Al-Qaeda trying to recruit Arab pilots
Osama bin-Ladenâs worldwide terrorist network, al-Qaida, has been attempting to recruit Arab fighter pilots to carry out terror attacks against Israeli targets. Channel 2 quoted Israel Air Force commander Gen. Dan Halutz as having told a gathering of security officials a short time ago that al-Qaida had actively been trying to recruit Arab pilots for suicide terror missions. Halutz told the officials that Saudi authorities had recently thwarted such a recruitment of a Saudi Arabian fighter pilot by making key arrests, according to the TV. According to Halutz, Israeli authorities have taken "the required steps" to guard against terror attacks from the air.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-02-08 |
