The new worry about terrorists using a hijacked plane is linked to interrogations of al-Qaida suspects recently arrested in connection with bombings in Turkey, other government officials said Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity. One or more of the suspects is said to have told interrogators that al-Qaida continues to train pilots outside the United States. The disclosure increased fear among homeland security analysts that a plane could be hijacked from a low-security foreign airport and flown against a U.S. target.

There were also several warnings about cargo planes being potentially hijacked, security is much less, than for passenger planes.
