El Al Pilot Reported Missile Explosion Next to Plane

(IsraelNN.com) An El Al pilot reported what appeared to be a surface-to-air missile exploding next to a flight. The plane was heading from Tel Aviv to Russia. The flight landed without incident in Moscow.

El Al officials reported with certainty the plane was not in military airspace, but in a regular international commercial lane.

Certainly, those are the only arms dealers in the world, right? It could not possibly come from other sources.

Probably because planes are easy targets and by focusing their attacks on planes either El Al or an American carrier, they are assured of taking out Americans and/or Jews - the targets of their sick, twisted hatred.

Minister Sneh Says the El Al Pilot Saw a Missile (IsraelNN.com)

Minister of Transportation Ephraim Sneh stated on Friday afternoon that he has debriefed the pilot of the El Al flight who reported seeing a surface-to-air missiles explode near the plane last night while in international air space over Russia. Sneh, a retired IDF brigadier-general explained the El Al pilot is a veteran Israel Air Force fighter pilot, a person who knows how to differentiate between aeronautical or weather entities and a missile.

Mr. Sneh stated that the pilot's report is credible, adding the missile exploded kilometers from the plane. The minister added that at this time, there is no reason to believe the firing of the missile was an act intended to down the plane

Leonid Minin is being held by Italy so he didn't sell anyone the missile. The Israelis should ask Semyon Yukovich Mogilevich who his recent clients have been

And another of the usual suspects that seems not to have been anywhere near LAX. Don't you ever get tired of your Goebbels-tirades, nazi?

I have loved ones who live in Russia and who travel frequently to and from Israel, so this is a very real danger to me and mine. For you to barge in on every thread with your one-note "the Jews had it coming" is starting to really piss me off.

Payger avek.

Yeah, everything is the fault of those Jews. Why, if we would just throw Israel to the wolves, those jihadists would stop all of their terrorist activities.

Cachelot & Alouette, you must have read something in LarryLied's post I didn't see. Between the lines, maybe?

Some Uke navy officer took the blame for that one, but they were improbably far away from the plane, even if they were shooting off their precious live missiles like bottle rockets that day. I bet the fall guy has a Swiss bank account and nice villa on the Med now.

Read some of his other posts here. It will become crystal clear, I promise.

Was it "kilometers from the plane", or "next to the plane"? I've seen both statements on this thread.

Hmm... do a "find in forum" on Mr. Lied. If that doesn't help, you can just wait until his exploits are published on outlets devoted to tracking hate on the net, something that is bound to happen.

Just too bad that the slime will splatter everywhere in sight, no?

Of course, if you still aren't clued in, you may be one of Mr. Lied's actual sycophants, of which there are a few. I generally don't bother to keep track of them.

He's kidding, right? Why fire a SAM if you *don't* intend to bring a plane down?

This has got to be the dumbest thing I've heard so far today!

Look at the bright side of this one. The FBI is not investigating this one. It would be labeled an isolated incident. After they discredited the eyewitness accounts.

If you have any other names of those who might be invovled in selling missiles to anyone who has the cash, tell us. Mogilevich sold arms to Iraq, he is capable of anything. Britsh MI5 described him as "one of the world's top criminals."

...devoted to tracking hate on the net...

Exactly what is your opinion of proposed "hate crime" legislation?

What makes you think that just because my relatives frequently travel between Russia and Israel that they are involved in some kind of criminal activities?

Yah, but I can see the media now, tracing these missiles back to Reagan's administration, when we were supporting the Afghans against the Russkies.

Oh no, you little UCK slug. You still haven't asnwered my question about how you managed to wiggle your way back in after being banned.

So in the meantime, maybe you should think of an answer, and then think about clarifying your question - such as do you mean Europena hate crime legiasltion, American hate crime legislation, or legislation that would tend to have REAL Serbs throw your slimy ass in a dungeon?
