This is operation BOJINKA back in action again
Bojinka was the '95 plot involving Khalid Sheik Mohammed and Ramzi Yousef in the Philippines, and was exposed after a Manila apartment fire led authorities to the laptop and bombmaking equipment. A Japanese business man was killed by an inflight explosion caused by a liquid bomb during Bojinkas test phase.
I've written about Bojinka here before, and the plots evolution into 911. I always suspected the original plan would be a revisited as an AQ "plan B" after 9/11.
Some of you know how close this story is to me... please ping me to any further developments. I'm too worn out to read the rest of this tread at the moment.
Lithium batteries are another possible menace. Short one out and it turns into a firebomb in seconds. Electronics have been barred from going in the passenger compartment for now, but sooner or later the laptop lobby will prevail and they'll be back.
Thanks for your input. GOOD to hear from you and will do what I can to help keep you informed.
95!!

You make me proud to be part of your ping!
Get some rest and get back in there.
