Iran and Hezbollah, hijackers of planes
2016-02-26
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
is confronting several schemes plotted by Iran. A few days ago, the Manila Times reported that it saw confidential documents confirming that a team of 10 people - including six Yemenis - have left Iran in separate flights via The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
and arrived in several countries in South East Asia in an attempt to execute their plan to blow up and hijack Saudi airplanes.

Kuwait
Iran and its affiliates, primarily the terrorist group Hezbollah, have a history of targeting passenger planes. On April 29, 1986, Kuwait said it had thwarted an attempt by a group of 12 people to hijack a Kuwaiti Airways plane and take it to an unknown location in East Asia.

Turki Al-Dakhil
The investigation accused Imad Mughniyeh, then-Hezbollah’s leader of security apparatuses. In 1988, he hijacked the Kuwaiti Al-Jaberiya jet and forced it to alter its route toward Mashhad in Iran and then to Larnaca in Cyprus. Kuwaiti passengers Abdullah Khalidi and Khaled Ayoub were rubbed out by Mughniyeh and dumped off the plane.

Back then, Mughniyeh - upon direct orders from Hezbollah leaders - demanded the release of 17 prisoners held by Kuwait for their role in the 1983 bombings that in one day targeted the country’s major power plant, international airport, the American and French embassies, a petrochemical plant and a residential compound. Iran, Hezbollah and hijacked planes are a never-ending story of criminality that knows no limits or mercy

#3  Maybe there's some guy out in Central Asia somewhere, spending the morning writing stuff for AlArabiya, and the afternoon doing stuff for Al Manar... He writes it all in English, and feeds it through Google Translate three times, to Russian->Farsi->Arabian... maybe his name is Peggy, like the commercial.

#1  So, Turki, what's Mughniyeh up to these days? Have you left out something we need to know?
