Fears of a 9/11 attack rise as jetliners reportedly vanish
Quote:
Eleven commercial jets have reportedly been stolen in recent weeks in Libya, and Western intelligence agencies have begun warning they could be used in terror attacks on 9/11, the anniversary of the devastating Osama bin Laden-orchestrated attacks on New York and Washington that left nearly 3,000 dead.
According to a report in the Free Beacon, the jets were taken by Islamist militias in Libya, and reports distributed within the U.S. government “included a warning that one or more of the aircraft could be used in an attack … on the date marking the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks…”
One official in the report assembled by the highly respected Bill Gertz said, “There are a number of commercial airliners in Libya that are missing. We found out on September 11 what can happen with hijacked planes.”
I mean... if they're able to intrude on American airspace without being detected, then we've got some major **** ups manning our airspace. After 9/11, we should be using the most advanced radar detection systems in order to keep this stuff from happening again.
they'd be shot down immediately.
