Thanks Cindy - that's who I was thinking of but my eyes/brain had gotten too bleary. So this was not the first plot to blow up airlines over an ocean.
No, I believe there have been more.
I'll see if I can easily find a link to the
older case I'm thinking about.
Ok, I don't know if these cases involved hijacking over water, but here's a couple of fellows (not associated with each other as far as I know from cyber travels) that should be found.
