Private jet owners should be alert to security threats posed by Muslim extremists, the federal government says – citing a warning posted in an Arab-language Internet forum.
“Destroy private American aircraft . . . We call upon all Muslims to follow and identify private civilian aircrafts [sic] in all airports of the world,” says the warning posted in an Arabic-language Web forum.
The message “also advised readers how to identify American aircraft and provided the tail number of a private aircraft allegedly used by the CIA,” the Transportation Security Administration said in an advisory issued to aircraft owners and operators and airport managers.
TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis said the Web posting was “a non-credible threat.”
