Liberal senator James Paterson has said this morning that the midair stabbing of a pilot on a commercial aircraft<\/a> flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv was \u201ceerily reminiscent\u201d of events inside the fourth plane hijacked on 9\/11, which crashed near Pennsylvania after passengers and crew members intervened.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere hasn\u2019t been a full investigation, but based on what we have learned, it\u2019s a very serious incident that could have been worse. In many ways, it\u2019s eerily reminiscent of the United 93 flight on 9\/11,\u201d he told News24.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fourth plane that was hijacked by Islamist terrorists after the two struck the World Trade Center and the one that struck the Pentagon. It was believed to be heading for the US Capitol or the White House, and brave passengers on board worked out what was happening, retook control of the plane, and it crashed instead in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing everyone on board.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether he believed the incident was linked to Iranian sleeper cells, Paterson said: \u201cI don\u2019t want to directly link these things because, as you say, that\u2019s not yet confirmed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what we do know is that the Islamic Republic of Iran, in particular the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the militant arm of the henchmen of the regime, are responsible for at least two terrorist attacks on Australian soil.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should remember that the terrorism era, the terrorism of the era of Islamic extremism has not passed us, has not left us. It is still with us, and vigilance, ongoing vigilance, is required.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liberal senator James Paterson has said this morning that the midair stabbing of a pilot on a commercial…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":911672,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44],"class_list":["post-911671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/911671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=911671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/911671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/911672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=911671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=911671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=911671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
