Small-plane suicide attacks possible, FBI says
WASHINGTON - (AP) -- The FBI has issued a fresh warning that terrorists may be interested in using small planes to carry out suicide attacks.
FBI supervisory special agent Steven Berry said Saturday that the agency had issued an ''intelligence update'' to law enforcement regarding small planes but he declined to be more specific.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association said on its website the alert was issued because the FBI ``has received information indicating that terrorists may still be interested in using small general aviation aircraft for suicide attacks in the United States.''
''Pilots are strongly encouraged to remain alert for suspicious activities anytime they are flying, or at an airport just before or after a flight,'' the association said. ``Individuals observing anything suspicious should report it to the local FBI or law enforcement officials.''
