Would some radical group, ISIS maybe, be nutty enough to contaminate food or worse on an Arab airline? That sounds too Tom Clancy for reality.
Tom Clancy was prescient. I read most of books in the eighties (tough slough with all the technical stuff), but current events prove his imaginative scenarios true.

When the Iraqi president is assassinated by an Iranian agent, the Ayatollah Mahmoud Haji Daryaei takes advantage of the power vacuum by launching an unopposed invasion of Iraq. The Ayatollah unites the two countries, calling it the “United Islamic Republic”, or “UIR”. With Indian and Chinese assistance, the UIR makes a bid for superpower status by attacking Saudi Arabia. Following a series of Iranian-backed terrorist attacks, including the release of an Ebola strain, the UIR declares war on both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Meanwhile, China “accidentally” shoots down a Taiwanese airliner.
Sound familiar? Isis, ebola, shooting down airliners.

Read most Clancy books. If I read them, "they" have read them.
