Al-Qaida urges 'lone wolf' attacks against western airlines
In the latest issue of its English-language
online magazine, Inspire, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula called for
individual jihadists to carry out "lone wolf" attacks on Western
commercial passenger flights.
The magazine named a number of U.S. airline
companies -- American Airlines, Delta, United and Continental -- as
potential targets. It also cited British Airways, EasyJet, Air France
and KLM as alternative targets.
"The first priority and the main focus
should be on America, then the United Kingdom, then France. ... This
goes on with the NATO countries as per the known order," the magazine
said.
The magazine advised would-be terrorists on
the best locations and altitudes for detonating explosive devices,
saying planes should be blown up over land, as this would also cause
casualties and damage down below. Methods of evading airport security
were also suggested.
Inspire also named prominent American economic figures,
such as former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Microsoft
cofounder Bill Gates, as potential targets for assassination.
