An unknown person broke through the air on the frequency of the US civil aviation and threatened to arrange a terrorist attack. Reported by CBS News.
Air traffic controllers heard the voice of a man threatening to fly into the US Congress on January 6. Thus, the attacker argued, he would avenge the killed Iranian general Qasem Suleimani. The sender of this message has not yet been identified.
It is alleged that law enforcement agencies consider this threat to be impossible. However, such an appearance on the air can be potentially dangerous, as a criminal disguised as a controller can transmit incorrect flight commands to the pilots.
On January 6, members of Congress must approve Joe Biden's victory in the US presidential election.
Suleimani died in Iraqi Baghdad on January 3, 2020, in a missile attack from the United States. Together with the general, several officers accompanying him and the deputy commander of the Iraqi Shiite militia, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, were killed. In response, Tehran fired dozens of missiles at American targets in Iraq on the night of January 8. The operation that took place was named “Martyr of Suleimani”.
