This is from The Washington Post.

JERUSALEM –– Security guards on board an El Al flight have foiled a hijacking attempt, Israel radio says.

The flight was headed from Tel Aviv to Istanbul, Turkey.

Officials at the Istanbul airport say the hijacker was overpowered by security guards and no one was hurt. The suspect is in custody. The plane landed safely in Istanbul.

Was this the big thing they were threatening?

*Sigh*

In a way, I do hope this was the big thing they were plotting, because now, their main plan has been ruined, [img]smile.gif[/img] .

I've heard some weird things about an attempt to hit the London subways with gas. Can someone provide a link with the full story of this ?

Well, they sent out a big letter calling for attacks on every ally of the US as well as the US itself...they specifically named, amongst others, Canada, Australia and the UK.

I think that this was probably less related to Al-Qaeda than to some wacko in the regional Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Yea, I heard about that on the news.The Canadian government had made their own list of possible targets for terrorist attack after Sept. 11, they heightened security etc. and surprisingly, West Ed. wasn't in there!

Transportation must be number 1 priority in all of our lives! Glad the security guards took care of the roaches!

Yes, they have increased. Mainly because of the sucsess of 7-11.
They was a major attack in Japan seven years back where some cult released nerve gas, killing a dozen or so people and injuring hundreds more.
