Baby suspected for terrorism

[Q Classic]

Korean Airlines B747 (1983?) downed by Soviet fighter jets - the Soviets claimed it was on a spy mission, but it had lots of passengers on board. Probably confused with an US RC135 recon plane and therefore shot down. I´m sure there are a lot of conspiracy theories about this one out there

it was KAL (korean airlines) flight 007, flying fron NY/Kennedy to Seoul/Gimpo via Anchorage.

it's obvious the plane was filled with spies from her majesty's secret service.

Not the train stuff, the police. It seems that they had some information about that someone would travel the train.
My uncle looks... funny. He's short, plummy, bald at the top, has funny moustaches, and amiles often.

The KAL flight also had a US Congressman on it, Larry McDonald (D-GA).

I hear that Arabs are starting to leave the US in droves because it is so terrible here. They are going back to their native countries where they are appreciated as human beings.

Well, Mitterrand's top advisor told a few years back (after his retirement from politics) that there were indeed spies in the flight and that the Americans expected the Soviets not to shoot down the plane.

I don't know if it's true, but I see nothing ludicrous with this assertion. At the contrary, it seems rather like a sound strategy to me. It's terrible so many lives were lost in this attack

The odds on that is probably very low. Mohammed is the most common name for new-born boys in Sweden's third town Malmö.

Ah, it's nice to know the government has lists of people to harrass.

No, we have lists of people who are suspected of terrorists. I suppose when a match is noticed you would rather just smile and let them on?

Yes, that's what I was getting at. Mohammed is such a common Arabic name, being named Mohammed would make your name "similar" to half of al-Qaeda.

Actually, the US security services whined as we cancelled flights they informed us of being suspicious. I guess they prefer to risk lives in order to catch terrorists

Back in Nam it was a common occurance for the VC to stuff babies with grenades. We just did what we had to do.
