Here are more details about this incident:
Israeli intelligence had information that terrorists were going to try shoot down with missiles the El Al plane during its take off or landing. This was passed quickly to the Canadian government which notified the airfield. El Al quickly landed in Montreal.
El Al does not take any chances when such threats exist, an El Al spokesperson said.

If it were American or United, the guy would have gotten a free flight to the studio to discuss his 'feelings' with Dr. Phil and an anger management class to deal with how the infidel airlines upset him. LOL! We can thank the Trial Lawyer's Association and liberals for that.

During the mid 1980s...These guys didn't fool around even back then That's probably because the 70's and early 80's were the heydays of hijacking and air terror. Much of this came from the PLO and the father of modern day air terror, yassir arafat.
Naturally, Israel allows him to live in...Israel.

Sending it to the the French section would do anything but enhance security... or are you thiunking of collateral damage potentials?

or are you thinking of collateral damage potentials? Who me, wishing ill on semi-sorta-Frenchies? Being that the French are such good friends of the Jihadi, I just figure they would be able to use some of their 'understanding' on any terrorists poor, oppressed people. ;-)
