Air traffic controllers in New York receive 9/11-like threat to US Capitol over Soleimani killing
A digitized voice warned via radio that an airplane would hit the US Capitol on Wednesday.
Air traffic controllers in New York and at least one passenger aircraft on Monday picked up a threat broadcast via radio Monday that warned of a 9/11-style attack on the United States Capitol in an incident that remains under investigation.
“We are flying a plane into the Capitol on Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged,” a digitized voice said, according to audio obtained by CBS News.
A passenger flight en route to New York picked up a nearly identical message, Newsweek reported.
National security officials have told reporters that the threat does not appear serious at this time, but that it remains under investigation.
