US intelligence believes that members of the al-Nusrah Front, al-Qaedas Syrian affiliate, have linked up with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in order to develop a plot to down a plane headed to the US or Europe. Officials are worried that jihadist fighters in Syria who hold US or European passports would be central to the plot.
A source told ABC that this threat is different and more disturbing than past aviation plots.

AIR ISIS. Yes they would probably be so bold as to have it emblazoned on the exterior of former flight MH370.
US worried about new Syria-Yemen al-Qaeda threat to flights

Thanks, Vel.
I’d be more worried about the US made Stingers and other MANPADs that were recently captured in Iraq.
“if the first plane brought down with an American made SAM isn’t enough to get this FPOS thrown out of office and put in jail, nothing will... “
If a passenger plane is brought down with a U.S.-made SAM, we will NEVER hear about it.
Not under a DEMOCRAT as President, anyway....
Don’t forget about the more than 7,000 MANPADS that disappeared from Libyan stockpiles after our totally illegal war of 2011.

Well, then, we better intensify the sexual assults at U.S. airports and increase spying on law-abiding Americans. Maybe take away a few more basic rights for good mesure.
What utter BS. Worried? Then why keep supporting and arming them? Oh yes, elections have consequences , don’t they? Two more years of this, plus, as the captain steers America’s ship of state right down the sewer.
Why would it. The terrorists have the manpads we transferred to them in Syria from Libya.
A camoflaged flight mh370...
plus those weapons that were run from Libya to Syria ....
weren’t there rumored to have been manpads among them?
IIRC manpads have the range to bring down a jetliner....
Correction to #16
Manpads NOT rumored to have been amongst the weapons going from Libya to Syria.
And finally this could be the reason they took the plane. To repaint it to look like another incoming flight, staff it with their own people and then pull in as if they were the real flight.
