Hopefully thwarted by bullet shots to the heads of the attempting hijackers.

Actually, today hasn't been that bad - since that car bomb this morning. It's been pretty quiet since then.

Looks like possibly 8-10, not 8-22, is the date.

Thanks. I feared (not quite the right word) that it was US bound.

It wouldn't surprise me if there were a coördinated world wide attack on US bound flights.

It looks like there was some coordinated effort planned for today. The fact that we've thwarted them must be devastating to the Islamofascists.

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) Jordanian airport officials say a man tried to force his way into the cockpit of a Qatari Airways flight, but the plane returned safely to Amman.

Fox News just reported that the hijacker approached the cockpit carrying a rope. (Not a joke, that was the actual report.)

Or it could have been "rerouted" into Israel, that was my first thought.

Could be. Even so, the bullet ending is preferred.

Can't we do that after we've extracted every drop of information we can?
