Al-Qaida will use more men in its next skyjacking attempt to make certain passengers and crew can be subdued, according to military sources involved in the interrogation of prisoners captured in the war on terror, reports the premium, online intelligence newsletter Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
In addition, the military has learned, according to the G2 Bulletin report, plans are being made to place bombs on planes by disassembling them and having teams bring the pieces on board one by one.
According to the information garnered from captives, a bomb can then be assembled in an airliner restroom in two to three minutes.
Indeed, the terrorists, though contemplating new attacks at sea and elsewhere, have not given up on the idea of hijacking airliners. In fact, they are becoming more creative in their attempts to commandeer them or destroy them in flight.
Last week, three workers were injured when a wallet exploded on a Turkish Airlines flight after landing in Istanbul and passengers had disembarked, the airline said. The blast came hours before President Bush was expected to leave Istanbul, which is hosting a summit of NATO leaders.
The small blast occurred on a plane that had come from the Aegean port city of Izmir, Turkish Airlines said in a statement. A worker, who had been cleaning the plane, lost fingers after picking up a wallet that had been left on the aircraft. Two others also sustained minor injuries.
