Nothing to be concerned about, you greasy Islamophobe. Don’t you always carry a couple of Hellfire missiles onto planes? Meanwhile, the Lebanese origin of the flight is interesting. Could these missiles have something to do with Iran’s client Hizballah and the Islamic Republic’s new sanctions largesse?
“Portland-Bound Combat Missiles Found On Passenger Flight,” Associated Press, March 13, 2016:
Serbia’s authorities are investigating reports that a cargo package bound for the U.S. containing two missiles with explosive warheads was found on a passenger flight from Lebanon to Serbia.
N1 television said the package with two guided armor-piercing missiles was discovered Saturday by a sniffer dog after an Air Serbia flight from Beirut landed at Belgrade airport.
Serbian media say documents listed the final destination for the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles as Portland, Oregon. The American-made projectiles can be fired from air, sea or ground platforms.
N1 reported Sunday that Air Serbia is helping in the investigation. The Serbian flag carrier says “security and safety are the main priorities for Air Serbia.”
CM Rosary says
So we know where they were going, based on “documents”, but not to whom they were being delivered? Why didn’t authorities allow the packages to go through and just track them? Something’s wrong with this story.
Myxlplik says
Yeah, they weren’t actually headed to the U.S., they were heading to the Albanian terror machine, which has been ramping up as of late.
Geofraz says
Then why put them on an American bound commercial aircraft where security would be much more intensive? They wouldn’t. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Myxlplik says
They had people working on the inside at both locations in Serbia, and Lebanon.
It’s not complicated.
Myxlplik says
Geo,
It could be something more routine, but it’s weird.
Sandra Lee Smith says
YEAH there is! Explosives are NOT permitted on passenger flights, by law! So whomever put them aboard is in big trouble!
John Johness says
mmmmm – why didn’t they substitute them and let them through? They could have followed the whole process, pick up. meetings, use….
Strange action and even stranger to report it.
It is the same with the Jihadis travelling OS. let them go, they would be easy to track.
Myxlplik says
Yeah, the Serbs had already arrested the cheap Albanian labor (read Muslim terrorists) working at the airport in Serbia.

…………………..
Thank you, Serbia. You probably saved a lot of innocent lives.
There have been many attempts by Muslims to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into the US. How long before they succeed?
Charli Main says
“Thank you, Serbia. You probably saved a lot of innocent lives.”
This is the same Serbia that was bombed to rubble by NATO forces, for trying to defending themselves from relentless attacks by Muslims, intent on taking over and Islamising their country.
No criticism of you or your post GI. Just making an observation.
Lookmann says
Hi Charlie,
That was a fact ie the Serbia ‘misadventure’. Pam Geller never forgets that monumental blunder of Bill Clinton. whenever writing on Bosnian or Kosovo jihadis.
Now one has to deal with ‘ White Jihadis’ too, a difficult issue for western security agencies.
knele says
Serbia deals with this kind of crap daily,and they are excellent in their thoroughness,because ,they have to be-they’re surrounded by muslims.Alal Vera Srbija!!(good job serbia) The U.S.backed Albania and Bosnia ,because Serbs had ties to Moscow, during the war.Washington and the media are incapable of being truthful about muslims,because of this p.c., apologist ,weakling stance.I would be called Islamophobic if I point out ,for example,inbreeding is so serious in muslim populations,that birth defects are causing Great Britains Health board serious budget and financial trouble.Sad when they represent only 1%of the population,and 85%of serious birth defects are attributed to themThis is not propaganda.That isnt even an Islamic country,and its the tip of the genetic iceburg.These were mostly Pakistanis.
Bob Blackthorne says
You DON’T KNOW that “they” haven’t ALREADY succeeded with dozens if not hundreds of missiles, bomb-making materials, etc. As long as we keep bringing muslims in by the thousands, there will surely be a day of coordinated attacks on us, and once it begins, it might be the end of our way of life due to the asinine liberal, Politically Correct politicians and major media that REFUSE to publicize what is happening in Europe and the Middle East.
Sandra Lee Smith says
Easier to ship to Mexico and waltz them across the southern border with the drug traffic.
John Nilson says
We can be sure the Serbs asked the U.S. if they want to replace the warheads with duds and then let the shipment through so we could arrest whoever picked them up.
There’s no doubt the U.S. declined. Had we arrested the Muslim recipients old Barry Obama would have looked bad.
Kurt says
I’m sure the U.S. has investigated the recipients. My guess the arrests will be made or have been, just not newsworthy since the suspects didn’t do anything “spectacular”.
quovadis2014 says
“My guess the arrests will be made or have been”……..Really? I’ll bet you $10,000,000 that no arrests will be made in this case.
Sandra Lee Smith says
No bet there; nor will there be!
SoCalMike says
Never forget to thank the bipartisan traitors from both parties who insist on importing more jihadis here so they can pose and brandish their false “see-I’m-not-a-racist” credentials and secure more future votes for their precious welfare state.
The federal government is infested with the very worst and dimmest things.
Karen says
Exactly. And 8 years of Pres. Obama turning a blind eye to everything Islamic.
DBM says
Sounds like a CIA operation to me.
Dexter L. Wilson says
That sounds like a Democrat to me. Don’t care about the truth just likes to spout off. Remember it was the Dixie Mafia in Mena, Arkansas carrying drugs. The mother of the two boys whose heads were cut off by supposedly laying on the train tracks near Mena had to leave the state because of the behavior of the police authorities because her life was in danger by them, not by the CIA. Fun people the Clinton’s.
Angemon says
Aren’t Hellfire missiles made in the US? Why would the CIA need to bring them TO the US? Makes as much sense as smuggling cocaine into Colombia…
DBM says
Not really when you think about it. There is almost no tracking when they leave the US for a war zone. Things like this are much harder to get in the states. Have you been reading the stories about the drone spy flights over the US? Same drones that fly missions over the ME.
Sandra Lee Smithn says
They used to be; I believe they still are, but I’m not certain about that.

Of course! There is no real Jihad terror–just the CIA and Mossad trying to make poor Muslims “look bad”! sarc/off
What are the chances that DBM is a 9/11 “Truther” as well?
DBM says
Very little
Paleologos says
Let me see if I can jog everybody’s memory.
Remember, years ago, all the reports of Texas airports having trouble because “some people” were shining laser lights into pilot’s eyes on flights taking off and landing?
Remember how the MSM never connected the dots like we did. The connection was that muslims were trying to kill Bush Senior and “W.”
This Hellfire missile story is just another chapter in the “hellish” story of islam.

Sandra Lee Smith says
There was an episode of the laser shining in at an AFB near Midlands in the UK just last week; a USAF pilot safely landed after being temporarily blinded by a laser. That’s not limited to TX.
Bezelel says
This is the shipment we found out about. I doubt they’ve caught 100%.
Westman says
This was probably just some collectors of old war relics topping off their collection; perhaps named Ahmed, Muhammet, or Aku Bakr.
There is hardly a commercial airport in the US that doesn’t have exposure at one or the other end of where runways cross over freeways or commercial and residential real estate. Even Marine One would be vulnerabe to this kind of weapon. This incident of transporting missiles on a commercial transport should raise the question of where an attack is being planned, not if.
Four airplanes were involved in 9/11 on the same day. How many destinations received Hellfire missiles on the same day as those slated to arrive in Portland?
gravenimage says
Good questions. This may not have been an isolated incident.
DBM says
Guys remember that Hellfires are not dumb missiles. They are also quite heavy at over 100 lbs ea, have a heavy complex targeting system and are designed to be fired off an aircraft. so this stuff was not meant for some weekend warrior jihadi.
Nimrod says
Yes, exactly. These are not MANPADS.
Assuming it’s the laser guided variant, even if someone could launch it then it wouldn’t just follow a red laser pointer from the drugstore, nor would it even follow an unmodulated laser of the proper frequency. There is encryption involved to avoid EW countermeasures.
This stuff is incredibly complicated.
Westman says
Update: The Hellfire missiles were erroneously reported to have explosive warheads but were actually training missiles, without explosives, bring returned to the manufacturer from the Lebanese Army.
Hmmm. Could one assume the army in the “stable” country of Lebanon has complete US Hellfire missiles?
Did these “training” missiles have functioning propellant, and if so, why were they allowed onto a commercial passenger flight? Does anyone remember ValuJet Flight 592 crashing in the Everglades due to prohibited cargo?
Sandra Lee Smith says
I sure do, and the NTSB and other changes in regs regarding explosives on passenger flights as a result!
Islam :- the religion of chaos says
We know these mohammid’s arn’t that bright. so where did they get the technology and knowledge to fire, aim and hit something with these missiles …..
And how did “smugglers” get their hands on TWO LIVE Hellfires in the first place ???
I am of course assuming hellfire missile’s anr’t like the common MANPADS, but I would’nt put it passed a mohammid to stand under one and try to let it off,,, at an airport,,
Seriously,, would the ancipated result be worth the transport hassle, there’s something weird about this ???
Islam :- the religion of chaos says
Expect the next big thing to be consumer grade quadcopters etc.. with explosives, camera’s and a go button ..
Nimrod says
That is very much what “they” are worried about. All I can say is: barrage jammer.
More Ham Ed says
The Oslo wannabee leftists in Portland have a solution for this, you just “ban” Hellfire missiles! Problem solved! Imagine all the people! Livin’ in harmo-nee!
Benton Marder says
These were US-made Hellfire missiles, live ones. Now, how did these missiles get to the East and who were they supposed to go to? Is it possible, horrible to think it, that these missiles were part of the arms ship,ents that went through Benghazi a few years ago? Do these missiles have Obama/Clinton pawmaeks all over them? We all know the saying, ‘What goes around comes around’, don’t we?
DBM says
Benton It would be very hard to trace these missiles and who they were supposed to go to. Once the missiles leave the US they are dropped from the books as if they never existed. Ditto if they leave Europe or if they were being shipped back from the ME. Literally if they were shipped from Iraq back to say the US for upgrade/recall, all they have to do is sit somewhere for 90 days and its as if the round was expended or never existed. They will go back to the manufacturer with the SNs but they will only be able to confirm that they made it and to what depot they were originally sent to. Then it becomes an embarrassment and no one will pursue it any further.
Original owner may or usually not be notified they were lost or diverted in transit.
Myxlplik says
My suggestion is never give any Muslim anything.
Even if you must give them some food, because, let’s just say, they’ve been on a murder and rape rampage and have destroyed the infrastructure of their country. I’m say best not to give them anything other than Bibles, but if you must give them nothing more dangerous than this.

It’s really simple.
quotha raven says
This alarming story needs fleshing out, details. It’s the mere skeleton of the facts and raises more questions than it answers. Who, what, where, when and why?
Cheers!
quotha raven
Myxlplik says
They were probably going to Jihadists intent on causing problems for Serbia, Kosovo, or Macedonia. I’ve read that Northern Kosovo has attained a bit of autonomy for Serbs living there, angering the Muslims of course. In other news I’ve been reading that the Albanian terror machine is ramping up again in Macedonia, and with all of these new Islamic recruits flooding in with connections to the Middle East, it looks like trouble.
quotha raven says
Oh, how awful a picture you paint. Thank you for the context, dismal though it be. I wonder how Portland figured in, if at all. Er…I live in Portland! We had a plot to set off bombs ala Boston Marathon some years ago at the lighting of the downtown Christmas tree. As you describe it, final destination of these weapons would be aborted. Have I got that right? I appreciate your response.
Cheers!
quotha raven
Myxlplik says
It’s only speculation on my part, but the flights final destination was Portland, but it had known layovers. The missiles were labeled as a misdirection. Serbian authorities sniffed it out, and nabbed the folks who were supposed to pick them up, which answers the question as to why the missiles weren’t just allowed through, the culprits were already nabbed.
quotha raven says
to Myxlplik – Sounds like good police work. Cooperative, efficient, good result. I hope it happened exactly the way you theorize, Myxlplik.
Cheers!

UNCLE VLADDI says
Maybe they were simply defective and being returned for refund to the wholesaler (the Obama regime)?
😉
underbed cat says
Interesting that it was bound for Portland, Oregon…..I wonder, to whom was this package addressed. I bet he is now long gone, or hopefully arrested. This is bad news….just wonder what else is tucked away. I just wish that after 9/11 I had never heard of Ob, we may have still had a chance. It is a secret, I should not know, but I would love to know how they found this item.
