Feds: Al-Qaida may use small planes
WASHINGTON - The FBI and Homeland Security have issued a nationwide warning about al-Qaida threats to small airplanes, just days before the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks.And days after the Marine One bad weather in cloudless skies incident. Authorities say there is no specific or credible terrorist threat for the 10-year anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. But they have stepped up security nationwide as a precaution. Because, ya know, there isn't any other way they would want to celebrate the anniversary. According to a five-page law-enforcement bulletin, as recently as early this year al-Qaida was considering ways to attack airplanes. Five page bulletin? Did they use 32 pt fonts? Sounds like there may be some other details. Or a long cc list. The alert said terrorists have considered renting private planes and loading them with explosives. But they haven't filed a flight plan. Posted by: Nimble Spemble 2011-09-05 |
