"How many people were in Ben-Gurion on Wednesday at 11 in the morning? How many of them would have died in a passenger-plane crash on the terminal? Chilling." That was analyst Amit Segal's response to the dramatic revelations from the interrogation of the Omani co-pilot whose mid-air attack was thwarted.
According to Segal's report, the Omani co-pilot confessed under interrogation that he had planned to crash the passenger jet directly into the terminal building at Ben-Gurion Airport in the final seconds before landing, a timing at which the aircraft could no longer be intercepted.
