The Washington Free Beacon is reporting that “a number” of Libyan airliners have been seized by Islamist militias from the airport in Tripoli.
Intelligence reports of the stolen jetliners were distributed within the U.S. government over the past two weeks and included a warning that one or more of the aircraft could be used in an attack later this month on the date marking the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against New York and Washington, said U.S. officials familiar with the reports.
Al Jazeera is reporting that there are 11 missing jets.
