And wasn't it Peter Jennings who on 9/11 speculated that the President was "hiding" by moving around in AF-1 to secure Air Force bases and those destinations were unknown to the general public until after arrival? Who knew then whether these terrorists had missles ready to launch at the plane. A very prudent precaution and in hindsight, with this story, it could have been a sorry reality.

I wonder how this weapon compares with a Stinger? It seems to me that most people assume it was a Stinger that brought down that passenger jet over Long Island, but it sounds like it could just as easily have beem this weapon.

They couldnt have taken out Air Force One with this thing, AF-1 probably has every counter measure known to man on that thing.

"The arms dealer, said to be in his sixties and of Indian origin, is due in court in Newark today. TV news channel CNN last night claimed the man had previously sold weapons to al-Qa’ida terrorists."
Plenty of Muslims in India. Sound like a real spigot has been turned off. Unfortunately hundreds more exist.
Keep up the good work, boys.

A shoulder fired SAM wouldn't dent AF 1, even if it got through the countermeasures that AF 1 has at its disposal.

His interrogation should begin with the forcible removal of his gonads with a rusty Vice-Grip TM pliars. Crack. Crack.

Thank God the FBI was on top of this, but how many more are they not yet aware of? Frightening indeed. My God do something about the ports and borders!!!!
