Flt 587 was definitely a hit. Remember the UN conference that day. And if admitted, we'd be looking at nationalised US airlines. The first shoe bomber, maybe?
Also, Abu Sayyaf took credit for sinking a Ferry that killed 200. Now, the Govt has admitted jihadis sank that ferry.
We speculated on a jihadi hit while authorities said no.
We were correct.
Yes I wonder why do they now claim responsibility for flight 587? Are they just trying to boost up their terrorist resume or is there some reason to have not said anything for 2 1/2 years?
There were some very unusual incidents on that day. I will have to look up that thread.
