Al-Qaeda Urges ‘Lone Wolf’ Attacks on Airline Companies

An article published in the jihadi magazine Inspire on Christmas Eve calls on lone jihadis to launch attacks on airlines, and gives instructions on how to make bombs and get through security checks.
The U.S. magazine Homeland Security Today reported on Christmas Day that the latest issue of the magazine contained a lead story entitled, "Destination airport, and Guess What’s on the Menu?" and was released on Christmas Eve, the fifth anniversary of the bombing attempt by Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab on Christmas Day 2009 while on board Northwest Airlines Flight 253.
Air companies picked out as targets for attack are US carriers American Airlines, United, Delta, and Continental, while British carriers British Airways and Easyjet are also listed, as well as Air France. Delta is described as "the target of our brother, 'Umar Al-Farouq 'Abdul Muttalib – may Allah hasten his release."
