Saudi authorities arrested 2 Moroccans in Jeddah airport last week, CNN reported that they were armed with knifes and intended to hijack a Saudia flight bound for Sudan with the intention of flying it into a building!
Saudi authorities played it down and stated that there was no proof of their intentions; they were arrested because they were wanted individuals.
Make of it what you will, but trying to hijack an airliner with knives in this day and age is a waste of time!
Mutt.
btw i did post this topic on R&N last week, people obviously considered it a non-event and it received very few replies.
