Missing jetliners raise fears of jihad suicide airliner attacks on 9/11

Sep 2, 2014 8:03 pm By Robert Spencer

Mideast Libya“There are a number of commercial airliners in Libya that are missing. We found out on September 11 what can happen with hijacked planes.” Here is yet another achievement of Obama’s fantasy-based foreign policy: he warmly endorsed the uprising against Gaddafi, and supplied the “rebels” with weapons. Now these jihadis have jetliners.

“Missing Libyan Jetliners Raise Fears of Suicide Airliner Attacks on 9/11,” by Bill Gertz, Washington Free Beacon, September 2, 2014:

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.

Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the Benghazi attack, which the Obama administration initially said was the result of a spontaneous demonstration against an anti-Muslim video.

A senior State Department counterterrorism official declined to comment on reports of the stolen jetliners.

A second State department official sought to downplay the reports. “We can’t confirm that,” he said….

    You have failed, Mr. President. http://www.worldtribune.com/2014/08/27/letter-parents-aaron-carson-vaughn-seal-team-vi-please-resign-mr-president/

      I very much doubt our President’s vaunted cool, his storied imperturbability will save us today.

    The following is entirely speculation on my part – and may have no significance whatever.

    Has anyone even considered the possibility of these additional factors?
    1) The ‘missing’ Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on 8 March 2014 –
    a Boeing 777-200ER?
    2) There have been reports of +/-20 ‘Advanced Stealth Technology’ experts on that flight?
    3) There have also been reports of a highly classified cargo of some type being put on that ‘missing airplane’ – and that the US Military personnel that transported that classified cargo to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 were subsequently found dead under ‘mysterious circumstances’?

    Could that indicate that something really horrendously catastrophic is being planned for multiple targets? – possibly against targets in several countries?

    Starting in late late June or early July 2014, there has been an exponential increase in the absolute barbarism, viscousness and evil that has/is being performed by the leaders and many fundamental Mohammedens in
    the Mid-East, which includes North Africa (Somalia / Western Sahara).

    IF my conjecture has any validity???
    – things may be getting ready to go to levels of evil beyond anything that mankind has seen since before ‘the worldwide flood’ of Noah’s time!

      Others have speculated on this as well, Bro. Nick.

        @ gravenimage – Thanx – if you have any ‘links’ I would appreciate them – for I personally have not seen anyone else’s conjectures along these lines.

          Here are a couple from reputable sources, Bro. Nick:

          “Missing Malaysian Flight 370 raises fear that it was stolen by terrorists to use it as weapon”

          http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/missing-jetline-raises-fears-9-11-attack-article-1.1727525

          “Was missing jet HIJACKED? US officials fear MH370 was captured and flown to mystery location…”

          Personally, I think the Malaysian plane probably went down in a Jihad terror attack. But I certainly could be wrong.

          And these Libyan jetliners *certainly* could be used in another 9/11.

      None of this should come as any surprise. This administration has allowed itself to be penetrated by Muslim Brotherhood operatives. There is one reason why you would do that, and that is to destroy our country. The goal of that organization is to destroy western civilization, it’s no secret. Knowingly allowing them in is treason, and we can see the consequences mounting.

      Although the US authorities (and others) only made these facts (the acquiring of the aircraft) in the past two weeks, you can bet your bottom dollar (Zimbabwean Pound??) that the US authorities KNEW about this almost as soon as it happened. Correct Response: attack the airfield and destroy the aircraft on the ground. Alternative: maintain 24/7 tracking of these aircraft: they come anywhere near a possible terror attack site: TAKE THEM OUT

    These planes wouldn’t have any innocent passengers on board, and could be blown out of the sky with complete impunity.

    “… western intelligence agencies recently issued a warning that the jets could be used in terrorist attacks across North Africa.” Sorry, but the greatest threat isn’t that those jets might be used in kamikaze attacks across North Africa but that they are within flying range of Europe. I would hope that the Italian, French, and Spanish air forces have solid protocols in place to shoot down any unregistered commercial flights that do not respond to escort fighter pilots’ commands. Of course, good protocols and well-trained radar crews & pilots aren’t enough. There also needs to be decisive leadership and the willingness to act in a timely way when it comes to emergencies.

    • umbra says

      The French air defense is competent. Not entirely certain with Spanish, Italian or Greek air defenses.

    • SpiritOf1683 says

      Sep 3, 2014 at 1:20 pm

      And within flying range of Israel as well. Hope the IAF are ready for this.

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 3, 2014 at 8:03 pm

      Agreed—Europe and Israel would be the most likely targets.

  6. Wtf? says

    Sep 2, 2014 at 9:47 pm

    Interesting story and supposition. There does appear to be a world wide synchronisation of many of these events and the growing hostility. However at the core of Islam is the need to intimidate their opposition with no long term planning. But their actions have gone to far and the slumbering western world is waking up. We need strong leaders now and political corrected ness needs to be thrown out. There is an urgent need for Islam to be declared a terror organisation!

      What are you talking about, what if someone were to say that christians were terrorists, muslims are not terrorists as a group, get a grip dude

      • gravenimage says

        Sep 3, 2014 at 8:08 pm

        Have you not been paying attention? There have been 23,756 Jihad terror attacks just since 9/11, and all in the name of Islam.

        Islam *is* a terrorist creed, and more and more pious Muslims are acting on the tenets of their vilolent faith as they become further emboldened.

      • Mo says

        Sep 3, 2014 at 9:28 pm

        @ Tom

        “What are you talking about,”

        I was just about to ask you the same question.

        “what if someone were to say that christians were terrorists”

        They do say it. And they reveal their ignorance. Christianity doesn’t teach or condone any such behavior. That’s why there are no Christian terrorists following the dictates of their religion – THEIR RELIGION TEACHES NO SUCH THING.

        “, muslims are not terrorists as a group, get a grip dude”

        Can you show me where anyone’s claiming every single Muslim is a terrorist?

        Answer me. I am sick to death of people spewing stupid comments and then disappearing when they are called on their stupidity.

    I reckon they’ve been shipped to Syria for the newly created “Islamic state airlines”, imagine how cheap the tickets would be. Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your bomb belts.

    We’ve been here before, of course. It took 400 plus years of non-stop Islamic aggression before the Crusades got underway to deal with the threat. Similarly, Islam is pushing and pushing today and, in the end, we’ll have to respond. Crusades Mark2 coming up!

    We ‘re all Israelis now!

    About Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: an airplane cannot just go missing like that, even if it falls in the ocean, any ocean for that matter. That OF COURSE is more than suspicious. Malaysia is a muslim country.

    To continue the speculation of missing airliners, believing these aircraft will be used to crash into buildings or facilities is thinking in terms of fighting the last war and underestimating the mischief makers. I believe we have to think nuclear, as in transporting a warhead or a warhead/missile. Where the aircraft is either used as the delivery vehicle for a weapon or used as a transport system to deliver a completely armed missile from point A to point B, such as from Pakistan to Iraq.

    I understand losing a hammer or gloves, but how in the hell does one lose commercial airliners?

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 3, 2014 at 8:14 pm

      Well, Libya was lost—and I imagine the Jihadists just seized the jetliners that happened to be on the ground at the time.

    Yet another ‘triumph ‘ for Cameron’s buffoonery. First the smashed tombstones of our World War II fallen, then the evacuation of our embassy, and now potential kamikaze attacks on Europe and Israel. The culmination of electing a Bullingdon Clubbing Old Etonian Boys Own fantasy dweller as Prime Minister.

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 3, 2014 at 8:29 pm

      And Cameron has not been the only idiot—remember US Ambassador Chris Stevens and his staff murdered in Benghazi.
