Iran’s terrifying new terror tactic may be turning airline pilots into 9/11-style attackers, former IDF colonel warns: ‘The new suicide bombers’

The hijacking of the Dubai airliner carrying Israeli passengers might be the beginning of a horrifying new terrorist tactic of recruiting and radicalizing real pilots to do 9/11-style attacks, a former IDF colonel and veteran intelligence officer warns.

“An individual doesn’t get the idea on his own to crash a plane full of people including himself. Somebody told him that if you do that you get your 72 virgins,” Miri Eisin, now an Israeli government spokesman, told The Post.

“If you think back to past plane hijackings, including 9/11, the hijacker was never the pilot of the plane. . . . This could be a new kind of suicide bomber,” she said.

Eisin, who served in the Israel Defense Forces as an intelligence officer for over 20 years, said she immediately suspected Iran’s hand in the near-tragic FlyDubai hijacking — though she was careful to stress she has no direct evidence and that the investigation is ongoing.

She said that the Omani pilot who stabbed his Indian co-pilot and attempted to crash the plane full of 174 passengers before he was overpowered by heroic Israeli passengers could have been radicalized by the Islamic Republic or its terrorist proxies.

President Trump has also suggested Iran might have been involved, but did not elaborate.

The pilot has been identified by The Wall Street Journal as an Omani national named Hamam al-Hammami. He had previously been banned from flying by Oman due to suspicions he had become radicalized, according to the publication.

Maybe Muslims should be excluded from aviation related employment at every level. Everyone would be a lot safer.

It’s clear Satan and his demons are winning right not. They lose big time in the end. We just have to get there first.

A huge proportion of low level staff at airports is muslim, as if they have been planted there on purpose for future operations.

Freaks me out.

No Shiite! Immediately following 9-11 I starting seeing female workers in Islamic garb. I'd like to think they are double agents.
