Islamist militias in Libya took control of nearly a dozen commercial jetliners last month, and western intelligence agencies recently issued a warning that the jets could be used in terrorist attacks across North Africa.
Intelligence reports of the stolen jetliners were distributed within the U.S. government over the past two weeks and included a warning that one or more of the aircraft could be used in an attack later this month on the date marking the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against New York and Washington, said U.S. officials familiar with the reports.
There are a number of commercial airliners in Libya that are missing, said one official. We found out on September 11 what can happen with hijacked planes.
The official said the aircraft are a serious counterterrorism concern because reports of terrorist control over the Libyan airliners come three weeks before the 13th anniversary of 9/11 attacks and the second anniversary of the Libyan terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi. . .

American, British, Israeli embassies.
Most European countries have very advanced military intercept capabilities. Not likely a jet liner would find itself over their airspace especially if their beacons and communications are off or disabled and the whole ded-gum world knows to look out for them.
Places in Africa are far less advanced and would be easier targets.
Of COURSE he will blame it on Bush! Silly.
Yep.
What I have been discussing with a few. No need for a Hi-Tech weaponized bio weapon.
Just load the ebola bodies in a plane and crash them into a highly popultated city no fire tho.
Instant Bio-weapon. Mass confusion and deaths will reign for months or years.
My thinking as well. No need to send a plane into Washington DC. Load ebola bodies and crash planes into a number of cities anywhere, most likely Europe. It's a diversion, as the mass confusion and fighting the illness will keep western governments busy and distracted while ISIS extends their tentacles around the world. They're not trying to make headlines, they're trying to cripple the world from stopping them.
>> Im sorry, who was it that decided Qaddafi had to go??
Same idiot who prolly decided Mubarak had to go.
Hey Hillary!
At THIS point, THIS is the “difference” it makes!!!
“Sure, Momar. If you like your countryor your life or whateveryou can keep it.”
“C’mon! You guys are gonna vote for me, right?!?”
First they strike Europe (the Vatican is listed as their principle European target), then the US (NYC, Washington, Chicago) - according to them and the Saudis.
Meanwhile, more ISIS terrorists will come across the Mexican border and strike at various unguarded infrastructure targets - principally the electric grid - including dams. Others will self-detonate in large crowds.
All this either this month (on the 11th) and continuing in the following years to commemorate the dates of various Islamic victories in the past.
Obama will hold a brief presser to include condolences to the victims and that the perpetrators will be “brought to justice”, then leave immediately for the golf course.
that would be best case scenario- but I usually go for worst case scenario and pleasantly surprised if best case occurs.
just in case bkm
That’s easy! With the cluster bombs we don’t have!
Yep. Answering that 3:00AM phone call she crowed about so much in her last campaign.
“And just what is in North Africa that is worth wasting an airliner on?”
The Pyramids? Muzzies have been wanting to get rid of those for centuries.
I had a lovely story told to me yesterday by a friend of mine who works in the security industry. He said this ISIS are basically demons, there is no low they will not go. Not only do they kill anything and everything, they also do so in the most horrible way imaginable to bring the utmost emotional pain to people. He said forget flying planes into buildings, this is not Al-Qaeda, this is much worse. ISIS is the type of group that will surround a elementary school in the USA with machine guns and shoot and/or behead every last kid in it and they will not care one iota if they get killed while doing it, AND he said they are already in the USA. That’s the reality we are facing. And Obama wants to disarm the public? My ASS he will!
Someone else mentioned that, and I had to agree they were right. Good call.
Just exactly how do you lose 11 airliners?
A second State department official sought to downplay the reports. We cant confirm that, he said.
Barry's boys are in serious CYA mode. They must be terrified.
