| Osama bin-Laden’s worldwide terrorist network, al-Qaida, has been attempting to recruit Arab fighter pilots to carry out terror attacks against Israeli targets. Channel 2 quoted Israel Air Force commander Gen. Dan Halutz as having told a gathering of security officials a short time ago that al-Qaida had actively been trying to recruit Arab pilots for suicide terror missions. Halutz told the officials that Saudi authorities had recently thwarted such a recruitment of a Saudi Arabian fighter pilot by making key arrests, according to the TV. According to Halutz, Israeli authorities have taken "the required steps" to guard against terror attacks from the air. |
