Airliner terror plan was code-named 'Project Bojinka'
Compiled by Bill Gertz
Airliner terror plan was code-named 'Project Bojinka'
The use of hijacked airliners as terrorist cruise missiles has been
known to be a tactic used by terrorists linked to Osama Bin Laden since
1995. That’s when terrorist Ramsi Youssef was captured by police in the
Philippines.
Computer hard drives were recovered during the arrest that laid out
plans for spectacular terrorist attacks using aircraft. The data on the
hard drives belonging to Youssef was decoded and revealed several key
operations of Bin Laden operatives. It was ultimately used to convict
the terrorists who carried out the 1993 bombing of the World Trade
Center.
According to an intelligence source involved in decoding the hard
drives, the first plan was to assassinate Pope John Paul II during a
scheduled visit to the Philippines. The airliner terrorism was outlined
as part of a terrorist operation code-named “Project Bojinka.”
The operation called for hijacking U.S.-bound commercial airliners
from the Philippines, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
The hijacked aircraft were to be crashed into structures in the United
States, including the World Trade Center, the White House, Pentagon, the
Transamerica tower in San Francisco and the Sears Tower in Chicago.
“A dry run was even conducted on a Tokyo-bound Philippines Airline
flight which fortunately was aborted by our security personnel,” the
source said.
