Report: Iranian Revolutionary Guards Planning Attack On Saudi Airliner In Southeast Asia
The Jerusalem Post ^ | February 23, 2016 | By Yasser Okbi

A terrorist plot to hijack or bomb a Saudi Arabian passenger plane in Southeast Asia has reached an "advanced stage" of implementation, the Manila Times reported on Sunday.

The news outlet cited "a reliable airport source," that warned of the threat of a terrorist attack that would be carried out somewhere in Southeast Asia after Iran warned of "divine revenge" against Saudi Arabia following the kingdom's execution of the Shi'ite cleric Nimr al-Nimr last month.

The source said it was possible that the terrorist plot would be launched in Malaysia, Indonesia or the Philippines.

The source said that the Saudi embassy in Manila informed the Department of Foreign Affairs that intelligence in Riyadh received information that Iranian Revolutionary Guards were planning to mount the attack.

The Manila Times said it obtained a copy of the confidential Saudi communication, written by a retired Saudi admiral dated in January of this year that indicated that the plan has reached an "advanced stage."

"The implementing and planning team is said to consist of 10 persons and six of them are Yemeni nationals tasked to execute the plan, and some of them have already been identified," the dispatch revealed.

Whom do I trust more?

The JPost citing the Manila Times reporting on a leaked memo to the Filipino government from a retired Saudi general about a suspected attack by IRG on Asian airlines, or ...

Any of the ABCBSNBCNN talking heads who know nothing and lie about what they don't know?

Sorry Enlightened1, my money is on the JPost citing anonymous sources.

Remember this little beauty that Gorelick and the Clintons ignored and covered up?
