A new sign of terror in the skies?
If terrorists weren't responsible for sabotaging Italy's air traffic control system around Milan this week, they've been given a disturbing new idea of raining aircraft out of the sky from the ground.
In a little—reported story, Italy has launched an investigation into why the entire air traffic controlling system was knocked out twice this week, stranding hundreds of planes, and the generators meant to back up the system failed each times. Italian investigators say the evidence points to sabotage.
Disturbingly, Milan is a well—known Islamofascist terrorist redoubt. Whether they could make planes fall out of the skies or not is unknown, but the potential for disruption is huge, and in the age of information technology, the idea of a terrorist at the traffic controls is full of terrible possibilities.
