“Chilling threat sent to air traffic controllers vowing revenge for killing of Iranian general is under investigation,” by Jeff Pegues, CBS News, January 6, 2021:
Multiple air traffic controllers in New York heard a chilling threat Monday in audio obtained exclusively by CBS News: “We are flying a plane into the Capitol on Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged.”
The threat refers to Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed last year in a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Trump. It was made on the one-year anniversary of Soleimani’s death, for which Iranian officials have long vowed revenge.
It’s unclear who sent the threat. While the government does not believe the warning of an attack is credible, it is being investigated as a breach of aviation frequencies, CBS News has learned.
Sources told CBS News that the Pentagon and other agencies were briefed Tuesday about the digitized voice recording. The sources said they believe the threat was designed to suggest hitting the Capitol on the same day Congress is set to count the Electoral College results….

And we will hear it’s a ‘right’ wing radical conservative blah, blah, blah, nothing to do with the ‘religion of peace’.

It will be safer to attack U.S. when Biden is President because he will not react. Strange how it is safer for a thug regime to prepare attacks on America rather than what is supposed to be the Muslim World’s 1400 years old enemy, Israel.

Thank goodness the Iranians had warned us of an imminent Zionist false flag operation to justify a US attack on peace loving Iran. Phew.

Threats are a major part of terrorism.
Bank robbers don’t let the bank know ahead of time. Burglars don’t let the homeowners know ahead of time. They aren’t terrorists, but just criminals.
However, terrorists make threats to cause ‘terror’ in the hearts of those who may feel they cannot prevent the terrorist from striking, except by giving in to the demands/extortion; and in this case, iran can’t ‘demand’ the drone un-strike their main terrorist planner and bring him back, so there is no “solution” except to prepare for an attack in D.C. today.
And, HS was already doing that as of some previous date due to the ‘domestic, left-wing’ terrorists gangs which have been ‘striking’ all over the country.

“obtained exclusively by CBS News”
That’s got to be under suspicion, CBS have proved themselves to be full of BS and generally consider the truth irrelevant

Blowhards.

So someone’s copying Hollywood and going for a re-make of 9/11 because they thought they had a ‘box office hit’ first time round? Sick cretins.

Islam the religion of dictators, it’s the perfect match because you can kill your enemy in the name of God. God made me do it, rape, pedophile and murder in the name of God, the perfect cult religion.
